| The failure can be reproduced with:
|
| $ gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests --dir=foo

|
| As a work around, my daily builder just does 'echo 0 > .tarball-version'
| and that makes everything work.

That's the correct workaround - you are indeed creating the equivalent of
a tarball outside the VCS, so you should have a .tarball-version present.
~ In fact, it might be worth a patch to gnulib-tool, rather than to
GNUmakefile, to guarantee that --create-testdir creates .tarball-version
to simulate the 'make dist' process of any package which uses the
GNUmakefile module.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
