Newer "makeinfo" throws lots of errors

I recently ran a "port upgrade" on my Mac laptop which appears to have
bumped the version of makeinfo (texi2any) to 7.3. This version
produces a lot of errors from "make info" about bad node linkage,
which I do not see when using texi2any version 7.1 on a ubuntu VM.

The first 20-odd lines are these:

./zsh.texi:115: warning: unexpected node `Author' in menu
./zsh.texi:127: warning: unexpected node `Compatibility' in menu
./zsh.texi:133: warning: unexpected node `Simple Commands & Pipelines' in menu

./zsh.texi:295: warning: unexpected node `Utilities' in menu

All the rest are of the format

warning: node up pointer for <thing> is <other thing> but up is `Top' in menu

That is, "up is `Top' in menu" is the commonality.

The resulting zsh.texi files have identical cksum on the two hosts, so
this is mostly just annoying, but I'm reporting in case anyone knows
of a fix.
