r.rescale assumes that input is integer, so if you feed it values 
between 0 and 1 then yes, but using the NC data as example and feeding 
it the elevation data directly:

r.rescale elevation out=elevation_0_255 to=0,255

gives the expected result.

Why would you need r.info for that ?

Dividing by the max and then rescaling should give the same result as 
rescaling from the original values... All you are doing is dividing all 
values by a constant before rescaling.
