Yes, colons shouldn't appear in index entries (see the Texinfo
manual).

I think you can condition it on the output format, like so:

@ifnotinfo
@cindex <xi:include>
@end ifnotinfo

Btw, isn't it better to use "@cindex xi:include", without the
brackets? If I were looking for this, I'd probably omitted the
brackets; wouldn't you?
