As far as I can see, the durations of user blocks that do not expire are consistently labelled as "indefinite" on Special:Log, at least in English. Can you say where you see the public logging you're referring to?
(MediaWiki mixes "indefinite" and "infinite" in some other places though. I don't think that's intentional, the software was just written by many different people and they didn't all worry about such details.)

Hi folks,
I can choose either infinite or indefinite block, it is being logged publicly as infinite. Once we have two different types, they should be logged separately. Indefinite blocks are ususally connected to some condition, such as changing an unacceptable name, and the public infinite appearance sometimes causes misunterstandings among users. Is it a bug or a feature?
