Runtime warning in texi2any or automake?

I experienced this issue with automake one time, not on purpose.  I
don't quite remember well, but my recalling is that the output file was
always rebuilt as automake had determined the output file name and the
rules when run previously using the basename, while the files where
created using the @setfilename by makeinfo.
