And indeed, this has reappeared: with the MPFR working copy:
qaa% rm doc/texinfo.tex
qaa% automake --add-missing
doc/Makefile.am:25: installing 'doc/texinfo.tex'
qaa% grep def.texinfoversion doc/texinfo.tex
\def\texinfoversion{2024-02-10.22}
qaa% grep def.texinfoversion /usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex
\def\texinfoversion{2024-11-04.20}
(where /usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex is the up-to-date
file provided by texinfo).
