Hmm, the HTML output has a redundant "See", but the .info doesn't.  But
I see the texinfo manual examples don't put "see" in front of @xref, so
I guess it's just coincidence that it produces okay results for .info.

M-x rgrep RET [Ss]ee @.\?xref RET *.texi RET doc/ RET finds a few more
hits in other manuals, could you fix those too please?
