Well, it does skip it, however it's the %post command that isn't setup to account for that. Apparently you have to mung some file after the rpm is installed to update a cache or something.
Is there a way for a %post to know if --excludedocs was set?
Alternately, maybe RPM should take care of this step, not every package that wants to install info pages. If you excludedocs, you'll still get the install-info Requires for each of those packages, even though it is not really required now.
