I think examples are better:

If you have

@ref{First node, within ref a footnote @footnote{Putting footnotes in refs is bad}}

You will end up with 
<a href="#SEC1">within ref a footnote <a name="DOCF2" href="#FOOT2">(2)</a></a>
which is not valid (no <a> allowed in <a>).

Similarly, if you have
@ref{First node,
@verbatim
verbatim text within a ref
@end verbatim
}

You end up with 
<a href="#SEC1"><pre> some verbatim text within a ref </pre></a>
which is not valid (no <pre> allowed in <a>).


Those constructs are not terribly usefull, but makeinfo can process them
(texi2dvi cannot).
