It looks like --bootstrap-sync is the issue here.
Adding a little debug shows that upgrade_bootstrap()
does not propagate params to the subsequent bootstrap run:

$ ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=/home/padraig/g/gnulib --no-git --skip-po 
--bootstrap-sync
bootstrap params: --gnulib-srcdir=/home/padraig/g/gnulib --no-git --skip-po 
--bootstrap-sync
./bootstrap: updating bootstrap and restarting...
bootstrap params: --no-bootstrap-sync

The attached adjusts bootstrap so the options are passed
through the upgrade_bootstrap() function.

Marking this as done,

thanks,
Pádraig
