It's a circular dependency -- _update-info-dir and bash both list each
other as requirements. In such a situation with loops it's impossible
to give a topological ordering that satisfies both constraints, so it
comes down to chance (or rather the order that things are evaluated) as
to which goes first. It looks like _update-info-dir happens to get to
the top.
