I think I fixed the problem: it was still in the "C" locale.

How did you configure the program? If you can't remember, look at the
output of ./config.status --config.

Could you look under "/usr/local/libexec/texinfo/Texinfo/" or
"/usr/libexec/texinfo/Texinfo/"? That's where it should find the files
its looking for. For me, I get

$ ls /usr/local/libexec/texinfo/Texinfo/
XSParagraph.a   XSParagraph.pm  XSParagraph.so.0
XSParagraph.la  XSParagraph.so  XSParagraph.so.0.0.0

Perhaps you could try uncommenting some of the lines in XSParagraph.pm
to see what's going on, like:

$diff tp/Texinfo/Convert/XSParagraph/lib/XSParagraph.pm
/usr/local/libexec/texinfo/Texinfo/XSParagraph.pm -u
