The doc for Info-default-directory-list says:

,----
| Once Info is started, the list of directories to search
| comes from the variable `Info-directory-list'.
| This variable `Info-default-directory-list' is used as the default

`----

IIUC, this implies that INFOPATH has to encompass *all* the places where
info files should be searched for. In my case, I have the following in
my .profile:

- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# standard places
INFOPATH=/usr/local/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/info:/usr/share/info
...
# org info dir
INFOPATH=/home/nick/src/emacs/org/org-mode/doc:$INFOPATH
export INFOPATH
- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
