OK, here's the bug:

	  ;; If there is no previous Info file, go to the directory.
	  (unless Info-current-file
	    (Info-directory))
	  (user-error "Info file %s does not exist" filename)))

Info-current-file is nil here, so it helpfully pops us back to the
*info* buffer before displaying the error.  I'm not sure what the right
fix here is...
