I suspect the culprit lies in different autoconf versions being used.
`configure' generated with autoconf 2.61 (as installed on my system)
contains this:

# ./configure --help | grep 'datarootdir\|infodir'
  --datarootdir=DIR      read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
  --infodir=DIR          info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]

The output on Reiner's build server likely looks different.

Users can prevent the info files from showing up in the wrong location
by configuring with
--infodir=<their_prefix>/info
I didn't check if something like "${PREFIX}/info" works as well.
