I have added the following text case, with info and html output.
If it is not what was to be tested, please reopen the bug.

@copying
@ref{GFDL}
@end copying

@node Top
@top top

@insertcopying

@menu

  • GFDL::

@end menu

@node GFDL
@chapter GFDL

@copying

This manual is for @acronym{GNU} M4 (version @value{VERSION}, @value{UPDATED}),
a package containing an implementation of the m4 macro language.

@end copying

This worked great for the pdf version. However, for the info and html
versions, it complains:

../../doc/m4.texinfo:79: Next field of node `Top' not pointed to (perhaps
incorrect sectioning?).
../../doc/m4.texinfo:288: This node (Preliminaries) has the bad Prev.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/eblake/m4/build/doc/m4.htp/index.html'
due to errors; use --force to preserve.

there is something about the use of @ref within @copying that
messes up makeinfo.
