I'm CC'ing this to bug-tar but it appears to me to be a texinfo issue really.
Here's how I reproduced the problem with texinfo 4.7:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.14.tar.gz
gunzip <tar-1.14.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd tar-1.14/doc
makeinfo --no-split -DDISTRIB -I. tar.texi -o tar.info
Here is makeinfo's first diagnostic:
tar.texi:1713: warning: `.' or `,' must follow @xref, not `}'.
(There are other diagnostics, but they're similar.)
Here is line 1713 of tar.texi:
@command{tar} from the root directory; @value{xref-absolute-names}. (Note
xref-absolute-names is defined as follows on line 109 of tar.texi:
@set xref-absolute-names @xref{absolute}
It appears that "makeinfo" is getting confused while expanding
@value{xref-absolute-nammes} to @xref{absolute}.
