No, it's a makeinfo bug.  It means that a Unicode string got sent to
stdout without being encoded first.  Is this with the development version
or a released version?  There have been many changes to do with character
encoding since the last release.

Ah, ok.  I forgot to mention this is with 6.8.  I'll wait until 6.9 is released to update my makeinfo version.
