As explained on this page, you need to set INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING to
0 if you do not want to get the warnings about commas in node names.

It seems to work (calling your texinfo file tbug.texi):
$ ./texi2any.pl tbug.texi
tbug.texi:4: warning: @settitle missing argument
tbug.texi:16: warning: @title missing argument
tbug.texi:31: warning: @node name should not contain `,': This is test, yes

$ ./texi2any.pl -c INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING=0 tbug.texi 
tbug.texi:4: warning: @settitle missing argument
tbug.texi:16: warning: @title missing argument
