Actually it seems to be a bug that Marius had apparently already
diagnosed.  After hacking on the automake source myself for a bit, I
discovered the same thing Marius has already told Dale :/

  Looks like a automake bug to me.  I have reported this to
  <address@hidden>.


  The following patch to automake seems to work, for the time being:
