This doesn't work for me.  However, the following does:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" .
              (lambda () (interactive)
                (info (buffer-file-name)))))

I think this has too bad consequences: it visits the Info file,
but doesn't display it.  Instead, it displays another buffer
with the Info manual.

Maybe `dired-info' from `dired-x.el' is more suitable for your needs?
At least, it doesn't visit the Info file.
