Sorry. I realised after poking around in info.el that my system
was mis-configured. (I'm not sure why, possibly a bug in something
other than Emacs.)

Indeed, and
$ su -c 'chmod o+r /usr/local/share/info/dir'
fixed the problem.
Emacs naturally cannot use the dir file when building the
top-level Directory node if it cannot read the file.
After the above configuration change everything works perfectly
the way I would expect.
Sorry for the noise.
