I had exactly the same problem when I used ee-info
(http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ee/info.en.html) in the latest Emacs CVS branch.
Your change broke the compatibility with older Emacs versions
that provided the `Info-following-node-name'.

To retain compatibility with all Emacs packages that you may be unaware of,
and that use the function `Info-following-node-name', you can restore this
function in the info.el with a new implementation:

(defun Info-following-node-name ()
  (and (looking-at (Info-following-node-name-re))
       (match-string 1)))
