I too have experienced frustration attempting to use the
Info-*-directory-list variables.  However, I can live without this
particular feature, so I haven't spent much time trying to make it
work.

But I can tell you how to go to a specific info file which corresponds
to your new Org version:  from any info page, press the `g' key.  When
it prompts "Go to node:", enter an opening parenthesis `(', then a
path to your desired info filename.  (Filename completion via the Tab
key works here which is very helpful.)  When you reach your filename,
close with a final `)' character, although Tab will insert this for
you too.  Press Enter, and your desired Info file should open.
