The file std.info-13 is broken completely and other files lack the
standard header. Looks like you have translated them with the --force
option that preserves erroneous makeinfo output. Since there is
no evidence of a bug in Emacs, I'm closing this report as notabug.
You are welcome to post source texi files if you want help
in fixing makeinfo errors.
