These functions might be used non-interactively,
where the *info* buffer is not displayed in any window,
e.g.:

  (with-current-buffer "*info*"
    (Info-history-back))

so in this case `goto-char' should be used instead of `set-window-point'
in `Info-history-back' and other similar functions.

It is true that in the latest patch, `set-window-start'
is not guarded against this use case.  To guarantee that the
function operates on the window that displays the current buffer,
we could add the following condition (this patch is based on the
previous patch that adds `set-window-start'):

If you agree that this is the right thing to do
then other places could be changed accordingly as well.
