Good catch.  This seems to be due to a difference in the man and
lispref/lispintro Makefiles.  The way man does it is

  INFO_TARGETS = ../info/emacs ../info/ccmode ....[etc]

  info: $(top_srcdir)/info $(INFO_TARGETS)

  ../info/emacs: ${EMACSSOURCES}
     cd $(srcdir); $(MAKEINFO) emacs.texi

whereas lispref does it like this:

  srcs = $(srcdir)/abbrevs.texi ....[etc]

  info: $(infodir)/elisp

  $(infodir)/elisp: $(srcs)
     $(MAKEINFO) -I. -I$(srcdir) $(srcdir)/elisp.texi -o $(infodir)/elisp

By analogy, this last line should be replaced by

     cd $(srcdir); $(MAKEINFO) elisp.texi

There were probably stale info files in my CVS info directory.  I just
cleaned it out; this problem should go away in the next pretest
tarball.
