This was also my first thought.
However:
1) the clean procedure works properly;
2) running manually the license check lines almost always produce
different results (saving the output outside of the source tree).

By the way, today I noticed the same behaviour while packaging another
software. In this case I am not regenerating autoconf files at all, so I
think this is a real bug.

Bests,
