Thanks for the quick reply, it was indeed that. The doc at the top of
ax_valgrind_check.m4 is correct, but not the doc at:
https://developer.gnome.org/programming-guidelines/stable/tooling.html.en#valgrind

“3. Add @VALGRIND_CHECK_RULES to the top-level Makefile.am.”

(BTW a @ is missing at the end of VALGRIND_CHECK_RULES).
