The third, slightly different, version occurs in /usr/share/info/dir, which is a symbolic link to etc/info-dir. Can you try to track down how it came to be that these various different dir files got installed? Which versions of which packages installed them? This is not a bug in info.el, but I wonder if it could merge these sections rather than just putting them in side by side.
