It is the empty line between (require 'tex) and (require 'texinfo).
This does not even make sense.  Either you have something strange in
your Emacs load-path making you find weird files, or you have a merge
conflict in Emacs' own texinfo.el, or you have a merge conflict in one
of the byte compiler related files from your Emacs.
