Follow-up Comment #2:

The text here seemed to me to be too extended to explain the restriction so I
wrote it like this instead:


+Prerequisites of @code{.PHONY} are always interpreted as literal
+target names, never as patterns (even if they contain @samp{%}
+characters).  To always rebuild a pattern rule consider using a
+``force target'' (@pxref{Force Targets, ,Rules without Recipes or
+Prerequisites}).


Hopefully that is sufficient.
