This is what is mentioned in the FAQ, section 1.1.1.

It is an autoconf "feature" that has been reported to the autoconf-guys a
long time ago (even before we experienced this the first time), and I hope
they address this problem in their next release.

Until they release an updated autoconf, we will have to live with workarounds
such as your suggestion one or the one mentioned in the FAQ.

Thanks anyway for adding yet another configuration that shows this problem.
