That is done here, in `Info-complete-menu-item':

(setq completions (delete-dups completions))

Also, debugging a bit shows this, which returns "HOME".

Debugger entered--entering a function:
* try-completion("home" ("home directory shorthand" "HOME") nil)
* complete-with-action(nil ("home directory shorthand" "HOME") "home" nil)

And then (after a bit), it does this, which also returns "HOME":

Debugger entered--entering a function:
* try-completion("HOME" ("home directory shorthand" "HOME") nil)
* complete-with-action(nil ("home directory shorthand" "HOME") "HOME" nil)

Which leads to:

Debugger entered--returning value: t
  completion--done("HOME" exact "Complete, but not unique")

And a second `TAB' shows the candidates in *Completions*:

Possible completions are:
HOME
home directory shorthand
