It certainly does for me:

    barimba. pwd
    /home/tromey/gnu/baseline-gdb/build/binutils
    barimba. grep '^srcdir = ' Makefile
    srcdir = ../../src/binutils
    barimba. find . -name 'binutils.info'
    ./doc/binutils.info
    barimba. find ../../src/binutils -name 'binutils.info'
    barimba.

How did you test it?
If you built from a distribution tar, then it is expected that the info
file would be in srcdir.
