I'm pretty sure that it didn't work in the olden days, too, but it was
fixed a few years ago.  And now it doesn't work again.

`C-h i' should default to .../info/dir if no dir file exists in
`Info-directory-list'.  Or perhaps just be a part of the default value?

It does here.

Do you have INFOPATH set in the environment?

What do you have in Info-default-directory-list, upon starting an
uninstalled Emacs?

Hm...  d'oh!  I was setting `Info-directory-list' in my .emacs.

Sorry for the noise; closing.
