As far as I can tell, this is a misfeature of texinfo. The links only work to the node level (at least in the info browser). So we would need to reactor the document into smaller nodes to fix that.
That's not really a misfeature. That fact is that Texinfo uses nodes as its primary sectionning mechanism. You need to think in terms of node first when you write Texinfo. Every sectionning command that you use should be associated with a node, and every node that has sub-nodes should have a menu. It seems that you only have nodes for chapters, which explains the shaky TOC.
Unfortunately, in addition to requiring some work, that would also give us a document with very small pages, that would be a nuisance when attempting to read in chunks (as opposed to jumping to a very specific item).
That is correct, although I don't find that this is such a nuisance, since you have all the hyperlinks you want. Otherwise, what you can do is generate a single web page for the whole doc (Cf. --no-split).
What I do find missing from Makeinfo is a --split-level option instead of the --no-split one. It would be nice if, for instance, we could specify that we want to split at the chapters level only.
