The 'viminfo' option is not empty by default, except in 'compatible'
mode (see
-u option forces 'compatible' on. Thus I an pretty sure -i is redundant
if added to -u NONE. -n NONE forces 'compatible' and thus empty
'viminfo'.

It forces 'compatible' on, unless -N is also used. Now go back to the example
given (by Bill McCarthy on 5-Oct-2006 at 15:59:34 -0500) and you'll see that
it was "gvim -u NONE -i NONE -N". In this case "-i NONE" is not redundant,
because -N forces 'nocompatible':
- If the "-N" command line argument is given, 'nocompatible' will be used,
even when no vimrc file exists.

I just tried it to check: started Vim with -u NONE -N but without any -i
argument. Immediately after startup:
:set vi?
viminfo='20,<50,s10,h
which is the 'nocompatible' default for Unix, and implies a viminfo file at
~/.viminfo. And the viminfo is read too, as shown by the many registers listed
by ":reg".
Adding "-i NONE" doesn't change the 'viminfo' option but it does prevent the
file from being read, as can be seen from the fact that ":reg" lists no other
registers than * + :
