It's not about whether revert-buffer works, but whether notification on default-directory is a reliable replacement for polling.
Info actually isn't a good example, since it doesn't even work with polling: it has no special `buffer-stale-function', and therefore isn't able to tell when the buffer is out of date. Furthermore, notification on a directory may not indicate changes to any of the files in it and thus wouldn't be reliable anyway.
With the patch, auto-revert on non-file buffers will work where at all possible; it just won't use notification for buffers other than Dired.
