Incremental builds constantly regenerating the Lisp reference manual

For the last few days, I've noticed that incremental builds (on GNU/Linux) rebuild the Lisp reference manual every time, even if nothing changed at all. This is a pain since it takes around 15s each time, when a no-op incremental build should be (close to) instantaneous. Is anyone else seeing this?
I can confirm this with a fresh checkout and then doing the following:

  autoreconf -fi
  ./configure
  make
  make

I always see something like the following output:

  make actual-all || make advice-on-failure make-target=all exit-status=$?
  make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest'
  make -C lib all
  make -C doc/lispref info
  make -C doc/lispintro info
  make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest/doc/lispref'
    GEN      ../../info/elisp.info
  make -C doc/emacs info
  make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest/doc/lispintro'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
