I see all 4 of them in "emacs -Q".  Not sure why you don't; perhaps
because your build is very old (but I doubt that).  Do you have
INFOPATH set in the environment, perhaps?

I disagree.  In general, index searches are deliberately
case-insensitive.  In this particular case, you might assume that
everyone knows the key is called <home>, but a seasonal reader of the
manual does not necessarily know that; he could, for example, take
inspiration from SPC, RET, TAB, etc.  We shouldn't fail those users,
IMO.
