I don't have a Emacs-20 at hand to try it out, but if it was broken in
Emacs-20, then it seems like nobody uses it because noone complained
about it.

Also currently the feature is broken in the sense that most Info
commands just signal an error because they can't find the data they want
at (point-min).
