I cannot reproduce this on my system. I get what I expect: HTML
output, with resolved @xref, <P>, and other HTML conversions.
What version of Texinfo is that (what does "makeinfo --version"
print)? And what command line did you use to process that Texinfo
document? is it possible that you used the -E switch to makeinfo?

What do you expect @ifhtml inside @iftex to produce? It cannot
possibly yield anything useful: @iftex is not processed under --html
switch.

Again, I cannot reproduce this (if I remove the bogus @iftex).

It works flawlessly for me.

Also works.
Conclusion: I need a complete reproducible example, including the
version of makeinfo you are using and the exact command line used to
invoke makeinfo.
