I found that, but I cannot find where it is called from.  I tried
to use cflow to understand better, but I didn't really got further...
My guess is that the code that follows a specific entry reparses the
entry using info_parse_node, and not through info_references_internal.

No, it seemss good.  Oddly, it didn't worked for me with the emacs manual,
while, when I replaced by the texinfo manual it worked fine.  (It may be 
because in the debian I use the emacs info manual is in a subdirectory?).
