Ian,

I started having issues with this last week. Re-reading this thread
gave me hints at a solution. I don't know what happened on my end, but
try the following steps, which worked for me:

1) Navigate to your org source directory (git repo, perhaps)
2) Type =make info=
3) Make sure the org/doc directory is in Info-directory-list (looks
like it is for you)

Kill any Info buffers and restart Info. The manual should be the
correct one now. If that doesn't fix it, try also typing =make
install-info=, which updates the site-wide documentation.

Let me know if this solves the problem for you, and if you had to type
=make install-info=.
