I was looking through the NEWS file for GNU make and found this:

So, it looks like you're right: double-colon rules should be invoked
serially. I guess the docs weren't changed to make this clear when the
code was updated. Obviously something changed between 3.75 and now to
break that: I definitely didn't change it on purpose.
Please file a bug at Savannah against GNU make and I'll look into it at
some point.
