What version of Automake are you running?
I suspect this issue has already been fixed in the Git repository, see:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?h=micro&id=13f00eb4493c217269b76614759e452d8302955e
This will be fixed in the next micro release, that I expect to be able
to make this summer.
Thanks for you report.
