You probably need to do this instead:
  TEST_EXTENSIONS = .sh
  utilities/tests/montage.log : \
        utilities/tests/addnoise.log \
        utilities/tests/affine.log \
        utilities/tests/annotate.log \
        ...

as test dependencies currently only work with extensions that have been
registered.
