I think the test case to demonstrate this bug can be simplified as:

define bogo
 # $(warning this should not happen)
endef
all:
        $(bogo)

And make produces

$ make -f a.mk
a.mk:5: this should not happen

Yeah, it's really funny.

Also, $(info ...) and its families seem to evaluate "too early"
according to my vague impression.
