Good catch. I notice that you can avoid it by touching each file, as
done in the following, just-pushed patch.  However, the success or
failure of those commands currently does not impact the success of
"make dist", which is a bug.  Nor are the resulting files even
distributed, so one might argue that it's fine that the failure is
ignored.
