thanks
The bug report below was filed against the Debian package octave2.1-info,
version 2.1.72-10. I confirm that the same problems exist for 2.1.73 and
2.9.5. (For detailed information, see http://bugs.debian.org/361705.)

I do not know if this is fixable. The "return" keyword is defined with
"@defvr {Keyword} return" in doc/interpreter/func.txi and will be indexed
in the variable index in any case.

This is indeed annoying. Here is my suggested patch to fix the problem:

Note that NaN values in the plot data are automatically omitted, and
Inf values are converted to a very large value before calling gnuplot.
