...because you're missing this info:

So the command would be
make -C Documentation/user out=www install-info prefix=...
the prefix option is not necessary if you're installing where
you told configure you'd be installing.

Similarly, to get images with info, do
make -C Documentation/user out=www info

Good points, everything should be fixed. Improvements could be
* add toplevel info and install-info targets that redirect to
Documentation/user
* make info with images automagically (using these targets)
when doing a toplevel make web [there is really no point
in *not* making info docs without images when the images
are already built for the web docs. the only reason for
supporting info without images, is for 'install-info' to
work when web-doc tools are not installed/available]
[better not:* fix the documentation command to suggest -C Doc../user]
Any takers? Next thing is that I wrote patches[1,2] for yelp to display
images in info docs, but yelp seems to be dead[3] (or at least not very
eager to take them).
