As far as I can tell INFOPATH does not change between compiling the 
two versions, nor do $(datadir) or $(prefix)).

Looking trough the NEWS file for 4.12, there is this:

* install-info: [...]
    - existing entries are replaced by default.
    - new sections are alphabetized among existing sections.

It seems likely that the latter is the cause of the changed order.

How can I compile texinfo with '--append-new-sections' switched on 
by default to verify this?
