Yes, this was deliberate.  It should've been compensated by this part:

and indeed I can make tests fail if I change, for example, above
setting of _lt_pkgdatadir to point to a non-existing directory,
with both GNU make and `pmake'

On which system does this fail?  Which `make' implementation,
automake and autoconf version?

Cheers,
Ralf
