What about shell-command? or if you invoke "info latex2e" from
"M-x shell"? same error?

So the issue is that shell commands invoked from Emacs fail when the
same shell commands invoked from the shell work?  And that it happens
_only_ for this one Info file?  Then what is the difference between
this Info file and the other ones?
