Follow-up Comment #1:

All of the things you say are true (except perhaps the stuff about cosmic
x-rays :-)).  This is how the VPATH feature is documented to work and it
works as documented (if you think there are cosmic x-rays involved please try
the latest release, GNU make 3.81, and see if you get the same unexplainable
behavior).

It's not clear to me what you are saying the bug is.  VPATH/vpath is
definitely only useful with "leaf" targets; it is not useful with built
targets.

See my paper on using VPATH, here: http://make.paulandlesley.org/vpath.html
