Doesn't surprise me, since MSYS2 doesn't have a native Windows port of Texinfo, so the place they put the manuals probably only works for MSYS itself. Does the shell set INFOPATH, perhaps? If not, in which directory do the MSYS Info files get installed, relative to the root of the MSYS installation tree?
