I fixed this on the stable branch (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ddc651eecf7a).  It will be in the next release of Octave, either 3.6.4 or 3.8.0.

This bug happens both in the Emacs and in the standalone Info readers.

If I try to jump to the info page for one of the statements (if, switch, while and so on), I get an error, presumably because the statement names are enclosed in quotes (`if', `switch', `while' and so on).  To reproduce:

$ info octave
type 'i'
type 'while'
type 'RET'
error: Cannot find node `(octave)The while Statement'.
