I've now changed `Texinfo-find-env-end' and `Texinfo-find-env-start' to
work like the respective commands in LaTeX and ConTeXt mode.  This
should be a cleaner approach compared to dealing with the differences in
all calling functions.

Unfortunately this means you will have to produce another patch.  It
should likely be similar to your last one, i.e. include
`Texinfo-mark-environment' as a copy of `LaTeX-mark-environment' adapted
for Texinfo mode.  I thought about providing a joint implementation for
both modes, but it likely makes things more complicated than an adapated
copy.  Perhaps one can point out the origin of the implementation in a
comment.

By the way, please use auctex-devel for such patches.  I'm cross-posting
this message to the auctex and auctex-devel lists and set a
Mail-Followup-To header to auctex-devel.  In case it gets mangled on the
way to you please follow up to auctex-devel manually.
