Hi again,
I just realized this is actually not a bug, and was simply caused by the
-f option passed to autoreconf.
Autoreconf seems to forward it to automake as the --force-missing option,
which, according to the manual, "force[s] update of standard files".
Autoreconf's man entry for -f simply states that it will "consider all
files obsolete", which for me wasn't very clear about its implications,
so I couldn't link it to the unwanted behavior I was experiencing.
