[help-texinfo] error compiling texi to dvi, conflicting names with texinfo.tex? |

Ciao,
on my x86_64-pc-linux-gnu running Slackware64 14.2, I am using a
custom installation of GNU Automake 1.16.1 and GNU Texinfo 6.6; when
building and installing these packages I accept the default
configuration options. I am also running TeXlive 2018, installed
sometimes around september 2018.
I compile this document:
\input texinfo.tex
@c %**start of header
@setfilename demo.info
@settitle Demo
@c %**end of header
@set PACKAGE_HEADER blue.h
@set PACKAGE_HEADER_FILE @address@hidden
@node Top
@top The demo
@menu
* demo:: Demo.
@end menu
@node demo
@chapter Demo
The @value{PACKAGE_HEADER_FILE} file.
@bye
compiling with "makeinfo" works fine, compiling with "texi2dvi" fails:
$ TEXINPUTS=/usr/local/share/automake-1.16/: texi2dvi demo.texi
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2018) (preloaded

? q
OK, entering @batchmode/usr/local/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status,
quitting.
Notice that:
* If in the input file I replace "PACKAGE_HEADER" with "BLUE": the
document compiles fine!
* If in the input file I replace "PACKAGE_HEADER" with "BLUE_HEADER":
the compilation fails with a similar error message.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it an actual Texinfo bug?
TIA
