Weeell, all my info files are in '/usr/share/info' and they end in .gz 
and can't be viewed as text.  New zsh info files are in 
'/usr/local/share/info' all by themselves and they are viewable. ( .gz = 
zipped yes?  So info is happy either way it seems).

% info zsh'

... still shows 5.8 version, but

% info /usr/local/share/info/zsh

... shows 5.9 version.  Funny thing is that 'dir' in '/usr/share/info' 
has been updated so it would seem that it's anticipating an update to 
the main info tree, but all the files are old.  Is there a manual fix 
for this?  If not:

#zhelp() { info zsh $1 }
zhelp() { info /usr/local/share/info/zsh $1 }

... seems perfectly workable.
