It does to me because the first refers to the destination (the entry for
-var-update), while the second is just the name of the anchor which is not
visible to the reader. Info in Emacs reflects the importance of the first
argument by just displaying:

(*note -var-update.)

Currently Emacs displays:

(*note -var-update-fields.)

but there is no such (visible) location.
