I don't know about Catalan, but in the somewhat related Occitan the
central dot is indeed a proper character and not just a hyphenation
indication in dictionaries.

So the proper solution would likely be defining that dot.  One would
probably have to see how texinfo.tex deals with other non-ASCII
characters in order to create a useful definition here.

But that's definitely part of making Texinfo support Catalan unless I am
mistaken about · being a proper character part in Catalan.
