I'm not seeing that behavior.  I'm building in a separate directory from 
the sources with

  mkdir .build; cd .build; ../configure ...

After building and doing "make maintainer-clean", those files are still 
present in the source tree.

Can you do a show the portion of the output for "make maintainer-clean" 
that shows at what point those files are deleted?
