Does texi2dvi then runs TeX the second time (and possibly the third
time as well), and these errors do not appear anymore?  Because it is
normal to see such messages the first time you run texi2dvi after a
significant change, since the various *.?? files where the
cross-references are stored are outdated.  The first run recreates
them, and then the subsequent runs of TeX should be free of these
messages.

In any case, be sure to look at the produced DVI file and see if the
respective cross-references of it are typeset correctly.  If they are,
you don't have to worry.

If this doesn't help. please post the complete text of all the
messages displayed by texi2dvi during this run.
