The directory is created. The question is *pre*create.
In short it can't because it would be complicated in presence of
conditional headers, and impossible in presence of AC_SUBSTed
headers. As for why $(includedir) is precreated, I don't know
whether that is a feature or not (it makes a difference when
nobase_include_HEADERS is empty).
