This looks suspicious:
FAIL: distcheck-override-infodir.test (exit: 2)
===============================================
distcheck-override-infodir: running install-info --version

Why do you have Debian install-info installed on Mac OS X? It is not used
anymore even on Debian:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ install-info --version
This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info
See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments
install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.13
and in fact Automake has stopped trying to cater to Debian install-info since
the release 1.11.2.
What happens if you re-run the failed tests after defining 'AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'
to "no" in the environment? Like this:
$ cd tests && AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR=no make -jN recheck

Stefano
