This happens because font-lock-mode gets turned off in Info buffers.
Type "M-x font-lock-mode RET", and all the niceties are back.  (You
could guess that this is the problem if you'd go to the un-decorated
text and type "M-x describe-text-properties RET" there.)

The reason seems to be the changes in revision 111794: their result is
that, after Info mode is turned on and turns on font-lock, font-lock
is turned off again by something called
global-font-lock-mode-check-buffers.  And to make things _really_
interesting, if you run this under Edebug, the problem disappears...

Since the voodoo of easy-mmode is beyond me, I'll let others fix this.
