Yuk!

That doesn't sound like the info program, but the links in the *.info files. Of 
course that assumes incorrect but consistent results.

I use info files daily. Occassionally, I have a bad link mostly in the index 
menus. I am a GUI/mouse junkie using Emacs --with-x as an IDE.

I just has a thought (excuse me while make a record of it in my diary....back), 
have you checked your key bindings? There have been times when I have found the 
defaults changed accross releases and the documentation hadn't caught up.
