The released versions don't have tab-completion for the Info i command, AFAICS. The best one can do is use "i scroll [RET]", and then use the `,' key to cycle through the matches. And scroll-all mode, although it happens to come near the top of the alphabetical list offerred by `i [TAB'], is way down the cycle for `i ,', and then it's not exactly obvious, being at the end of the "Window Handling Convenience Features and Customization" section.
