I've added rules for these and checked that they work in out-of-source builds, and with make distcheck. I recently untracked the pdf files in git and evidently this has led to this problem. The better fix would probably be to use a Makefile.am file under doc/refcard, or to incorporate the rules from doc/refcard/Makefile into doc/refcard/Makefile.am.
