Sorry, I confused the issue: the -I switch to texi2dvi has nothing at all to do with makeinfo, since makeinfo doesn't need to read texinfo.tex. texinfo.tex is read by TeX; makeinfo simply ignores the "\input texinfo.tex" line. So the question here is whether texi2dvi invokes TeX in a way that would find texinfo.tex in a directory mentione in the -I switch.
