Ahhh, now I get it. The bug is that YAIM config of the info provider
doesn't work if queue name != vo name. But it IS possible to correctly
config the info provider by hand or other means in this case. The
software (info provider) will work properly.
This is what I get for being too busy to read mails carefully.
I will shut up now.
