Speaking of af9c063ed, that commit adds another regression and has
to be reverted.

The match-string-no-properties on line 674 needs to access the
match-data from the matching on line 668.  So it is *not* safe to
replace it with other match-data on line 673; the save-match-data
on that line is required.

Yeah, most likely this issue has nothing to do with the used Texinfo
version.  After all the regression is in code that generates a texi
file from an org file.

Sorry for the delay.
