This is the regular behavior of Emacs Info-index when called interactively from a buffer with an attached file. It simply doesn't support what you are trying to do. As mentioned in another response to your issue, use the action type link-to-Info-index-item instead.

The above works a bit better now but again you should choose the action type link-to-Info-node instead.
