This has been previously reported.  It is a bug in the gentoo sandbox, and
not in m4.  That said, m4 can still work around it:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244396
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-patches/2009-02/msg00011.html

You may also be interested in trying a more recent snapshot, where the m4
patch is in place:
