I just tried it out in Firefox using the "Responsive Design Mode" (that
allows you to preview how a page looks like on a mobile device).
Interestingly enough the page did at first appear just like in your
screenshot, but when I slightly resized the frame it did appear like a
regular "mobile site" (hopefully attached below).

The site is missing a viewport-meta tag which is regretfully necessary
for normal pages to behave like normal pages on mobile screens.  Adding
that ought to help, but that should be done by the texinfo/makeinfo
maintainers.
