I mean, they are supported for distributed tarball (and this is checked in
the automake testsuite), but not for from-scratch builds, like e.g. from a
fresh git checkout.

Thanks; I can reproduce the error, and I've managed to reduce your minimal
test case even more. I've applied the attached patch to the 'maint' branch
in the automake repository. The bug report remains open though, since for
closing it we should either fix the limitation or at least document it.
