So, it looks like there was a texinfo bug in texinfo.tex (to be
confirmed), but this file was provided by the automake package
(bugs 882844 and 889647), and it was rather obsolete.
There may be a bug in automake, if does not execute dvips with
the right options.
I still wonder the cause of the difference with dvips. A strace
shows that ~/.dvipsrc is read in both cases, but the contents
are the same, and a diff on the strace files does not show where
the difference could come from. None of the environment variables
mentioned in Section "3.3 Environment variables" of the dvips
info manual are set.
