Actually, I kind of did it.  After applying following patch in
TEXINFO.TEX:

   \else
     % \thischapterheading is the same as \thischapter except it is blank
     % for the first page of a chapter.  This is to prevent the 
chapter name
     % being shown twice.
     \def\thischapterheading{}%
+    \def\thissectionheading{}%
   \fi
   %
   % Common context changes for both heading and footing.
<-------------------- PATCH END -------------------->

and adding my style of headings in EMACS.TEXI:

@headings off
@evenheading @thispage @| @| @thischapterheading
@oddheading @thissectionheading @| @| @thispage

I was able to achieve what I wanted.  Maybe you could add above patch
to the official texinfo.tex?

Now, for the "kind of" part.  There are pages in the PDF manual that
doesn't have chapter or section in heading (depends on where the page
is placed - right/left-hand page).  These pages are last pages of the
chapters, but - as I wrote - not all of them!  What is interesting, is
that even official PDF has the same problem.  See p. 26, 58, 60, 93,
140 in official Emacs Manual PDF.  I can attach the one I made in next
e-mail if you wish.  Any ideas?
