C-c C-c, which is bound to TeX-command-master when using the non-core
AucTex package.  But the problem also happens with Emacs's built-in
C-c RET C-b (makeinfo-buffer)

TeX-command-master is where I tried fixing it, so it may be easier in
Emacs's built-in makeinfo.el, which is where makeinfo-buffer hails from.

(For those curious, TeX-command-master is a command multiplexer designed
to understand what the next logical command for a certain file is (e.g
first compiling, then viewing, etc...)  It works fine with latex files
and doc/misc/flymake.texi, except for the load-path issue)

  <from emacs checkout dir>
  src/emacs -Q
  C-x C-f RET doc/misc/flymake.texi RET   ; find the file
  C-c RET C-b RET                         ; makeinfo-buffer

If I don't modify the include line, this errors.  If I modify it, it
succeeds and presents the updated info buffer.
