Do they > point to the same directory? Info-directory-list contains only the directory where the Emacs info files are installed (under ".../msys32/mingw32/share/info") while INFOPATH contains the directories where the MSYS2 info files are, for instance .../msys32/usr/share/info (IIRC). Since Emacs is a MinGW ("native") application it is expected that it ignores the existence of the MSYS2 ("cygwinized") directories unless something tells it otherwise, such as INFOPATH in this case.
