Is it recent enough?

NO!

The regexp checks for 3.11 or newer - 3.9 is just too old.
>From the INSTALL file:
* GNU `texinfo' 3.11
To correctly translate and install the Texinfo documentation you
need this version of the `texinfo' package. Earlier versions do
not understand all the tags used in the document, and the
installation mechanism for the info files is not present or works
differently.
