The INFOPATH searh path only looks under the share/info installation
prefix; that's why it doesn't see it.
Perhaps there's a way to configure texlive-texmf to install its info
manuals to share/info instead of share/texmf-dist/doc/info;
alternatively we could, at the level of the texlive-texmf package
definition symlink any share/texmf-dist/doc/info/*.info to share/info/.
Would you like to give it a try?
I'm turning this into a proper bug report, by emailing
"bug-guix@gnu.org".
Thanks for the report!
Maxim
