I managed to get the same result (by editing the *.toc file to end on an 
odd page).  Note that the headings are correct for the page numbers as 
printed - the only problem is the mismatch between the page numbers in 
the file and the printed page numbers in that when one is odd, the other 
is even, and vice versa.  If somebody was actually printing the manual 
on paper, they would have to use some other tool to insert a blank page 
into the document after the table of contents and before the page 
numbered "1".

As you said, this blank page is inserted by texinfo.tex under some 
conditions already.  I expect there is some work that could be done in 
this area.

That sounds hard to do!
