Yes, indeed, it's an oversight.

However, this does not solve my problem.
I guess I'll have to try again after studying the Make manual, if I 
find some spare time.

So far I managed to make it work only in current directory:

[maketest]$ tree .
.
|-- Makefile
|-- bar.md
|-- bar.pdf
|-- foo.md
`-- foo.pdf

0 directories, 5 files
[maketest]$
[maketest]$ cat Makefile
.PHONY: all book test
all: book

%.pdf: %.md
        pandoc -f markdown -o $@ $<;

# Find the PDF files to be built
book: $(addsuffix .pdf, $(notdir $(basename $(wildcard *.md))))

# Check target list
test:
        echo "$(addsuffix .pdf, $(notdir $(basename $(wildcard *.md))))"
