That's most probably the side effect of using Cygwin tools again: the
native port of info cannot run many of the tests because the test rig
uses features not supported by native Windows programs (emulation of
terminals and other such stuff).  When running the tests with MSYS,
the test suite detects that and skips those tests, but since you run
them with Cygwin, I'm guessing that the way the test suite detects
Windows ports fails for some reason.

My records from running the test suite in Texinfo-7.1 indicate that 56
of the info tests were skipped, whereas above you say that none were
skipped.  So I'm quite sure this is the reason.
