In the OP you said

    They were all changed from this text:

      Index for `%s'

    The latter text should be restored.

Which would affect the text in Info buffers (because it's the argument
to an `insert' call which is evaluated in an Info buffer).  I'm not sure
if you are just ignoring the effect of the change you propose, or you
have some additional changes in mind.

Okay.
