I will correct this ASAP.

These are not new: rluser.texinfo needs to be changed to prevent these 
warnings.  The problem is, the changes need to be reported back to the 
Readline maintainers.  Since these are just warnings, I never got to 
that...  Should I?

This last warning *is* the reason for these problems: you cannot use 
@value (or any other @ command) in a node name, unless you do it 
consistently in all places that node is referenced.  This is explained
in the Texinfo manual.

I will remove @value from the node at line 2912 (using @ commands in node
names should be generally discouraged).
