Your bug report might be more convincing if you hadn't got that syntax 
wrong.  Compare your example with the documentation example you found, 
and particularly note where the []s and are:

> AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:boiler/top.mk:boiler/bot.mk]
> [lib/Makefile:boiler/lib.mk])

Wouldn't you agree that your example should have been

AC_CONFIG_FILES(
   [Makefile]
   [src/Makefile:append/append.mk]
)

?
