After I forwarded this problem to bug-texinfo@prep.ai.mit.edu, RMS
suspected a bug in filling and requested more details.

I provided the details, but RMS was unable to reproduce the problem.
He suggests I try it again when 20.3 is released.

Also, this bug seems to have gone away with v0.34.

huh...
