Indeed, you're right. I think it's an issue in texinfo. If you take a
look at po files in po_document in texinfo's sources, you'll notice
that only tp/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm seems to have translations
available, but the info manual is generated with
tp/Texinfo/Convert/Info.pm. You'll also notice the Up:, Next: and Prev:
links for instance.

The *Note seems to come from tp/Texinfo/Convert/Plaintext.pm but I'm
not entirely sure.
