I don't have time to dig into this right now, so I'm just reporting it.
I'd be happy and grateful if somebody can beat me at finding a fix.

Nothing serious: we had merely forgotten to update the list of
Automake-related preselections in autom4te to match the changes
done in the automake master branch.  That should be fixed in
autoconf now (and future similar issues will be easily and
trivially fixed in the same way), so we can close this report.

  Stefano
