24.1.1: Mac OS X Info-directory-list can not add to first position |

Hi all
There is an unexpected behavior with Info-directory-list on Emacs
24.1.1 on Mac OS X: The added path is not placed in the first position.
On Linux, /tmp is in front of Info-directory-list as expected:
/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.1 -Q \
--eval '(add-to-list (quote Info-default-directory-list) "/tmp")'
C-h v Info-directory-list:
("/tmp" "/usr/local/emacs-24.1/share/info/" [...])
On Mac OS X, /tmp is expected in front of Info-directory-list but is not:
/Applications/Emacs-24.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q \
--eval '(add-to-list (quote Info-default-directory-list) "/tmp")'
C-h v Info-directory-list:
("/Applications/Emacs-24.1.app/Contents/Resources/info" "/tmp" [...])

Thanks for the report. This is already fixed in Emacs trunk, currently
expected to appear as 24.3 at some point.
