The fact that index search works for you in freshly generated files
probably means that the original ones are botched,
They worked perfectly well for me in emacs-23.1.1. I didn't see
anything obviously wrong with them at a quick glance. They don't have
the magic marker in the index, that's the only meaningful difference I
saw from freshly-generated ones.
Harry, if you can, please try emacs-23.1. Not emacs-23.1.50.
That will eliminate the prime variable of the Emacs version.
Also, please start Emacs by running emacs-23.1 --no-site --no-init.
That will eliminate any chance of site or personal code getting in the
way. There's no need to guess about these things.
As far as I can, this is and always has been about Emacs. Not makeinfo,
not the Info files. Please talk to the Emacs developers.
Best,
karl
