For the record in mail archives for future reference - the problem was that the files were in maintainer-clean and not in distclean. This is intentional, and as expected it causes make distcheck to fail. When moving them to DISTCLEANFILES, there are no errors. However, there's an issue with distributed generated docs: There is one copy in scrdir and another one in builddir. So if you want them both to be cleaned, make sure maintainer-clean does it :-) The issue of timestamps Nick mentioned seems to exist too, and it matters when srcdir == builddir. I'm working on it.
