The problem is that @heading is defined in the special texinfo.tex in the
GNU Emacs Lisp Manual distribution, but not in the regular version of
texinfo.tex that's distributed with GNU Emacs. A comment in the special
texinfo.tex states that it is supposed to be merged with the regular
texinfo.tex, but that hasn't happened yet. Note that @heading is
also used in the following GNU documents: 

bison.texinfo
gcc.texinfo
gawk.texinfo
gdb.texinfo
gperf.texinfo
make.texinfo

Since @heading is already being used in GNU documents, it is certainly
desirable that other GNUers be able to format their documents, also.
