AFAIK, you can't do this with the current version of Info.  The only way 
is to get the sources and implement such a feature.  (If you do, you 
might consider sending the changes to the maintainer of Texinfo package, 
so that others could benefit.)

That's a feature.  Info usually doesn't record a node more than once in
its history of visited nodes.  What you should see is that if you start 
from a menu, `L' usually gets you to other descendants of that menu you 
visited before, but not to the menu itself, except after you popped all 
the other nodes off the history list.

If that doesn't explain what you see, please explain in detail what do 
you expect to get and what do you get with `L'.
