I see this as well.

Not unsurprisingly, git bisect points at this commit as the culprit:

commit b95f53f0383b5df82e0b711f5027881950893f4f
Author: Stefan Monnier <monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca>
Date:   Mon Jun 15 18:48:08 2015 -0400

    * lisp/info.el: Cleanup bytepos/charpos issues
    
    * lisp/international/mule-util.el: Use lexical-binding.
    (filepos-to-bufferpos): New function.
    * lisp/info.el (Info-find-in-tag-table-1): Use 0-based file positions.
    (Info-find-node-2): Use filepos-to-bufferpos (bug#20704).
    (Info-read-subfile, Info-search): Use 0-based file positions.

and updating to the commit just before makes the issue go away.
