I wouldn't say that summary is 100% accurate, but the answer is
this dependency in the top-level Makefile.in:

  misc-info: lisp

There is a comment in the Makefile explaining it.
There is no stated dependency in doc/misc/Makefile.in.
(Trying to build in doc/misc without first building Emacs fails.
Hopefully the use of recursive make will go away one day.)
