Bug#815205: another texinfo.tex bug in \scanmacro

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Gavin,

Ok, I tried your  suggestion, but that again breaks:

code >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
\input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-

@iftex
@tex
\def\aaa#1{Hello #1}
@end tex
@end iftex

@macro bbb{word}
@tex
\\aaa{\word\}
@end tex
@end macro

@bbb{World}

@bye
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
gives
./bla.texinfo:15: Undefined control sequence.
l.2 \aaa
        {World}
\scanmacro ...atspaces }\scantokens {#1\texinfoc }
                                                  \aftermacro 
l.15 @bbb{World}

tested with latest texinfo.tex


The problem goes away when the I use
	@macro bbb{word}
	\\aaa{\word\}
	@end macro
(without the @tex ... at end tex)

Is this just an incorrect usage of macro definitions and @tex
in the original sources, that "just happened" to work till 6.0,
or is there something else behind?

Thanks

Norbert
