DHCP Inform will be unicast directly from the client to the server - so the relay agent isn't involved.

Same thing, different names.
Check on FW2 that the packets are going through, and whether there is any reply at all from the server. Then look at the server logs.
And assuming FW2 isn't the default gateway for the server at that end, check that the server (or the default router) has a route to the transit network.
