There's a texinfo.bbclass which all recipes installing info files are
probably inheriting anyway, so moving the postinst there should solve
the race on the directory.  That class says that texinfo-native is
assume-provided but you'll want to check that usual configurations
ship install-info alongside makeinfo on the distributions we support.
