I think the GNU style calls for two spaces at the end of a sentence.

It is, but AFAIK makes no difference in the output since such formatting
is handled by texinfo (the pdf shows no difference).

Yes, the TeX and HTML pipeline never cared. But I think the regular Info output was affected. The old makeinfo implementation used to copy over all kinds of formatting artifacts. I don't see this anymore, perhaps it was fixed in the Perl reimplementation.
