Spoke too soon.

You need the following patch to automake:

  Index: automake.in

  RCS file: /cvs/automake/automake/automake.in,v
  retrieving revision 1.1455
  diff -u -p -u -r1.1455 automake.in

  +       push @ac_deps, '$(top_srcdir)/acinclude.m4';
       }

       if (variable_defined ('ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES'))

(Actually, you can remove that line completely too.)
