OK, my turn :)

I think you misunderstood what the doc says about multiple lex files.
It claims it supports the compilation of multiple lex sources in the
sense that it makes sure parallel builds work properly, _period_.

It does not claim it will guarantee there are no conflicts on the
symbols such as yylex.  And actually, how could it?  Would you like it
to impose a new name for yylex?  That's not realistic.

You have two options: requiring Flex (i.e., improve configure.ac) and
use -P as you did either using flex's %options, or using some tricks
to pass file dependent flags to flex (I don't think Automake supports
this); and the second option is to do what the doc suggest.  Hence my
suggestion is: read it again.
