The installer script creates links from
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info to
/usr/local/share/info. Is the former directory populated as you would
expect?

This is odd. Do the files exist in
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info? Can you
please show us the output of “ls -la /usr/local/share/info” and “ls -la
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/share/info”?
