Then I think the duplication in the info menu is expected. IIUC, info
does not make any attempt to "uniquify" menu entries (the standalone
info program behaves in the same way).

I think the only remaining issue that might be a bug is: did the normal
Emacs-on-MS-Windows build process create these duplicate directories,
or did you do something to end up in that state?
