Actually I just found there=E2=80=99s no good reason!

$GUIE_PROFILE/etc/profile is generated based on the environment
variables claimed by the installed packages (for instance Python claims
=E2=80=98PYTHONPATH=E2=80=99, and so on.)  It turns out that neither Texinf=
o nor Emacs
claims =E2=80=98INFOPATH=E2=80=99.

I=E2=80=99ve fixed that for Emacs (commit 64c983) and will fix it in the ne=
xt
core update cycle for Texinfo.  So now, when Emacs is in the profile,
etc/profile contain the =E2=80=98INFOPATH=E2=80=99 setting.

Hmm, interesting.

Thanks,
