I'm sorry, but the bug seems to be yours. The new test fails after
automake.in changes from revision 1.848 to 1.849.

revision 1.849
date: 2001/02/04 03:27:52;  author: tromey;  state: Exp;  lines: +27 -11
        * automake.in (handle_configure): Don't modify variable which
        aliases list element.  Don't push @inputs onto the dist list.
        Fixes colon7.test.
        (initialize_per_input) [dist_dirs]: New variable.
        (handle_dist_worker): Use global dist_dirs.
        (handle_configure): Set dist_dirs entries at toplevel.

In fact it says directly: "Don't push @inputs onto the dist list."

Not good. Many programs rely on that.
