Wow.  I planned to prepare and send patches tonight, but you
reacted faster.

It's documented, but apparently not in the right place.  Where
did you look?

Anyway the explanation of the format in the documentation is the
same that is output when aclocal warns it does not understand a
serial number.  It looks pretty explicit to me:

/home/adl/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4:30: malformed serial number `49
