No, this is not a bug.

I have a 4.5 MB info file I wanted to tagify (and then split).  I
observe "loading informat...done" (overwritten, temporarily, by some
number of "garbage collecting" messages) at the bottom of the screen
for quite a while.  I suppose pointing Info at a file this large is
something of a perversion, and maybe it wasn't expected that M-X
Info-tagify would be such a lengthy command.  Nonetheless, I suggest
that informat.el be altered such that the tagifying activity is
announced during that period, as it is for a batched run.  I moved the
existing announcement to the Info-tagify function:

23c23
< (defun Info-tagify (&optional file)
---
> (defun Info-tagify ()
26,29d25
<   (cond (file
< 	 (message "Tagifying %s..." file))
< 	(t
< 	 (message "Tagifying...")))
78,82c74
< 			       (min omax (point-max))))))
<   (cond (file
< 	 (message "Tagifying %s...done" file))
< 	(t
< 	 (message "Tagifying...done"))))
---
> 			       (min omax (point-max)))))))
398c390,392
< 			 (Info-tagify file))))
---
> 			 (message "Tagifying %s..." file)
> 			 (Info-tagify)
> 			 (message "Tagifying %s...done" file))))
