It is the case; guile.info is present, but it seems that it's not newer
that one of the sources it's built from:

% tar --utc -tvf _build/guile-2.0.7.13-b5d83.tar.gz | grep -E '\.(info|texi)$' | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 " " $6 }' | sort | tail -n2
2012-12-26 13:59 guile-2.0.7.13-b5d83/doc/ref/guile.info
2012-12-26 13:59 guile-2.0.7.13-b5d83/doc/ref/standard-library.texi

Probably standard-library.texi is created just a tiny bit earlier than
guile.info (in the same second).  That might be the reason the build
tries to run makeinfo inside the unpacked "dist" tarball?
