This is not an issue in the code, but it follows the manual. Indeed, 
the corresponding texinfo is:

@item --disable-encoding
@itemx --enable-encoding
@opindex --disable-encoding
@opindex --enable-encoding
By default, or with @option{--enable-encoding}, output accented and
...

Therefore, the @opindex is really in the definition part. I checked
that both makeinfo and texi2html put the anchor in the dt part in 
@vtable and @ftable.
