Here is one:
http://www.rtems.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/rtems/doc/FAQ/Makefile.am

Others can be found in neighboring directories.

I clean them up, but I believe to have found cause:

My Makefile.ams look like this:

PROJECT = FAQ
include $(top_srcdir)/project.am
texinfo_TEXI = FAQ.texi
info_TEXINFOS = FAQ.texi

With project.am containing this:
CLEANFILES = $(PROJECT).info $(PROJECT).info-?

This causes automake-1.7f to use the %GENERIC_INFO% and %INSRC% rules in
texibuild.am, because it doesn't find FAQ.info in *CLEANFILES.
