I believe I tracked this down.  The fix will likely be in my next push.

commit caf1d8e863b4cb36ad99ca4c274dd0a7f5e8060f

    tmac/tmac.am: Stop cleaning `$(TMACMDOCFILES)`.
    
    * tmac/tmac.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Remove `$(TMACMDOCFILES)`.  This
      variable, formerly named `TMACMDOCSTRIPFILES`, should not be used in a
      clean target because its contents are (no longer) generated files.
      Problem introduced by me in commit 24602f42, 4 July (only noticeable
      in within-source-tree builds).
