These probably have not been rebuilt since the !docs default in makepkg 
was removed. You need to remove that file and update it in the 
post_upgrade, look at some core packages, they even do that without a 
hard dependency on install-info (example from coreutils, look at the 
full file in your /var/lib/pacman/local directory):

infodir=/usr/share/info
filelist=(coreutils.info)

post_install() {
  [ -x usr/bin/install-info ] || return 0
  for file in ${filelist[@]}; do
     usr/bin/install-info $infodir/$file $infodir/dir 2> /dev/null
  done
}

If install-info is missing, the dir file will be generated as soon as it 
is being installed (processing all installed info-pages). If 
install-info is installed, the above code snippet will only process the 
newly installed info files.

You can adjust the PKGBUILDs/install files in question and send a patch 
here, we can apply that to trunk and when they are rebuilt the next 
time, info pages will work.
