I did the tests, and here is the result:

no @<SPC> @<TAB> at the end of a @node line. But ok in @ref and @anchor 
and within the line.

@} @{ @- not ok in @anchor, @node, @ref.
@geq{} @leq{} @arrow{} not ok in @anchor, @node, @ref.
@abbr @image @verb not ok in @chapter and @ref.
@env @code @option @samp @command @file @indicateurl @kbd @key @sansserif 
  @slanted address@hidden not ok in @ref (and almost certainly in @node).
@indicateurl not ok in @chapter.


I didn't test accents, since I already tested them and they work, and I also
didn't test @<RET>, since it is not an issue if this @-command is not 
handled.

In my opinion, 
* not having @image and @- supported is not an issue. 
* Not having @abbr @verb @indicateurl working in @chapter is a bug. Maybe
  fixing it would also have the @-command accepted in @ref.
* it would be nice to have other @-commmands supported, especially, in 
  my opinion @} @{ and @code and similar @-commands (I guess that they all
  fail for a similar reason).
