But I suspect the problem is that Info-directory-list is not set correctly, which can be caused by either

(a) the environment variable INFOPATH is set, or

This is correct, I do. This seems to be the problem. However, I'm not sure how to get around it. I set INFOPATH because I install some programs in my home directory. I can't find a way to discover the system's implicit INFOPATH, other than:

strings /usr/bin/info|grep /usr/local

but this of course does not include the emacs-22 directories.

Hence, I can't see how to both set an INFOPATH (needed for my user-installed programs) and still have access from within Emacs to the emacs-22/* files.

Using the standalone info reader, I don't have this problem: it seems to search subdirectories, so it finds the emacs-22/* files under /usr/share/info.
