My guess is that it doesn't support compressed Info files, so it thinks they are not there. What does "install-info --version" say in the MSYS Bash window? If nothing gives a clue, I suggest to uninstall the MSYS Texinfo package and install the MinGW port of Texinfo from my site instead. That's what I used. If you decide to go this way, make sure you also have a MinGW gzip. In any case, just copying info/dir from the source tree should restore your lost entries.
