Dear autoconf,
I have received no reply yet, so am taking the liberty to <bump>.
BTW, is there a way to verify that this report has reached someone,
besides waiting for an email reply?
You can check the list archives online, to see that it was delivered:

Thanks!

This is a known automake bug, not caused by autoconf; that may explain
why you haven't seen much response on the autoconf list, but I don't
know if there are any active maintainers on the automake list that have
suggestions on how to work around it, or on when a fixed automake will
be available (or if it is already available). A quick search found
this, though:

Reply-to-all is general policy on GNU lists, for precisely that reason.
