automake generates rules in Makefile.in and Makefile to create
version.texi, like this:

$(srcdir)/version.texi:  $(srcdir)/stamp-vti
        @:
$(srcdir)/stamp-vti: guile.texi $(top_srcdir)/configure.in
        @(set `$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/mdate-sh $(srcdir)/guile.texi`; \
        echo "@set UPDATED $$1 $$2 $$3"; \
        echo "@set UPDATED-MONTH $$2 $$3"; \
        echo "@set EDITION $(VERSION)"; \
        echo "@set VERSION $(VERSION)") > vti.tmp
        @cmp -s vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi \
          || (echo "Updating $(srcdir)/version.texi"; \
              cp vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi)
        address@hidden -f vti.tmp
        @cp $(srcdir)/version.texi $@

But I think it only does this if you configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode.  Perhaps that is your problem?
