You're still using TexInfo 5 correct? Do you get those warnings when
getting the help text for dendogram and hist3? If so, this a problem
that only appears with the new TexInfo when deftypefnx is used in the
middle of the help text.

My understanding is that this type of usage of deftypefnx should be
avoided in first place. When it can't, then the solution is to end
deftypefn first. See the gallery function [1] in octave core for an
example where that is done.
