I must be missing something, because in Texinfo the rule to
build doc/texinfo is supplied in Makefile.am, it's not
generated by Automake.  You aren't asking for Automake to
fix user-supplied rules, are you?

You'll see that if you remove this hand-crafted rule, Automake
generates correct dependencies.  Actually it should be safe to
suppress the following two rules, since Automake >= 1.7 no longer
put info files in the source directory.

        * doc/Makefile.am (.texi.info, texinfo): Remove.  Automake 1.7+
        no longer output info files in the source tree.
