I've just checked with emacs 23 and 24, and you seem to be correct.
However, I guess the code might be there for a reason.  Is there any
chance you could try with emacs 21.4 and 22, too?

Ah, no need to.  I've asked on #emacs, and there was some guy who still
had emacs 21.4 and 22 installed and could test-drive the code.  The
behavior is the same as in recent emacsen, so I've applied your patch.

(XEmacs doesn't seem to have info-look at all.)

Thanks,
Tassilo
