Info-default-directory-list, which is the thing that stats the
filesystem, is autoloaded.
This area seems overly complicated, probably due to hysterical raisins.
IIRC we've discussed it before.

The default still gets set, just not used. You might wonder, why bother
setting something that's not used...
