Works for me as well. pdfinfo.exe is built from poppler in a pretty standard way, see my bypy repository in github for the script used to build it. This will be something interfering on the affected computers. Note that nowadays, you shouldnt need to use pdfinfo for most things, you can use the podofo bindings for getting metadata for example, this avoids needing a separate process and so should be faster and possibly more robust, though I suspect podofo will fail on more malformed PDFs than pdfinfo, so you could fallback to pdfinfo. See podofo/__init__.py for the various python wrapper functions that can be used.
