I can't answer your ido question, but you might want to try `icicle-Info-menu' (bound to `m' in Icicle mode) as an alternative. It is a multi-command, which means you can use a single command invocation to navigate among the nodes for any number of Info menu items. Cycling, completion (including substring/regexp) and direct access are available. `m', `g', and `i' act similarly - each is a browser: menu items, manual nodes, index entries. Your current minibuffer input filters the set of available candidates (menu, node, or index) incrementally. You can also sort these candidates in various ways - for `g' that includes the book's node order as one possibility. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Icicles_-_Info_Enhancements
