Thanks. I can reproduce it in karmic by installing install-info from texlive 2008 and have it in the search path before system's install-info.

Texlive version:
# /usr/local/bin/install-info --version
install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.12

Karmic version
# apt-cache policy install-info
install-info:
  Installed: 4.13a.dfsg.1-4ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4.13a.dfsg.1-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4.13a.dfsg.1-4ubuntu1 0

I guess TexLive 2009 fixed it because they no longer distribute programs and documentation with TeXLive and you have to get the original Texinfo package for the system you're running.

Affecting to install-info and setting status to confirmed.
