My head is spinning as it is ;) While I'm not sure either whether you have found a bug, nor in which of above tools, there is a simple way to avoid it: specify the directory for those auxiliary files. Typical would be AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux]) early in configure.ac. Then remove all copies of those auxiliary scripts and invoke the tools again -- they should now all end up in build-aux/.
