Good catch.
I updated the manual on a system with texinfo version 6.0
Probably the handiest way to update would be to run the following
from coreutils git on a system with newer texinfo:
  build-aux/gnu-web-doc-update --mirror
Note, pass that an appropriate USER env var if your local user
is different to the doc host

It's probably to early to specify 6.3 as a version requirement
for makeinfo in bootstrap.conf. That's only available in fedora rawhide for 
example.
If makeinfo 6.1 was sufficient, then that change would be ok I think.

thanks!
