Then the configuration for the info directory is wrong (you install into
a different directory than what Emacs uses to find it).  Check where
Emacs picks up the old documentation and change the configuration so
that the new info file goes where the old was.  If you have multiple
info directories set up, check that your place of installation comes
first.

No need to be sorry, I didn't mean to say you wrote too much… just that
you could have saved yourself some time that way.

I hadn't really considered installation from tarballs down to that
detail.  I may just add some code to recognize that situation and put
the version information into the tarball itself.
