This is in
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/?id=86baed5c1cfb97ce6bcefef67d3a7a89ca206a13

Indeed.  Seems ok even for nesting in @example.  There may be some
nestings that are ok in Texinfo and not in DocBook, but probably not
more than with other @-commands.

I tried to use macros/inline* for the <title>, but nothing works
smoothly, as mixing Texinfo and DocBook does not work outside of
paragraphs.  Any Texinfo content triggers a paragraph opening, which is
not correct in the <title>.

I'll start a thread on that subject.
