Yes, the same error with both of them.

Yes, but this is statement applies only to the directories I've added to
$INFOPATH. 'info dir' for example works as expected within Emacs in all
scenarios.

Nope, I moved my Emacs directory, adjusted $INFOPATH and did in the
shell:

  $ info emacs
  $ info elisp
  $ info gnus

They all work. Within Emacs, no avail, no matter what I try.
