Option doesn't work properly when backporting to version 2.69

When backporting the given commit to version 2.69:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=a197431414088a417b407b9b20583b2e8f7363bd

we are experiencing problems with behaviour in Fedora.

In the documentation there is: By default runstatedir is a
subdirectory of ${localstatedir},
but it doesn't behave in such a way. The expectation was that after setting

--localstatedir=/dirA

will it change also @runstatedir@ to /dirA/run. But @runstatedir@
changes always to /run.

Steps to Reproduce:
    1. run autoreconf --verbose --install --force
    2. mkdir /tmp/run/
    3. touch /tmp/run/file1
    4. ./configure --localstatedir=/tmp
    5. ./test.sh
Actual results:
list /run

Expected results:
list /tmp/run

test.sh.in:

*#/bin/bashls @runstatedir@*

configure.ac:

Is there anything missing in the applied patch adding runstatedir option ?

Thanks for cooperation.
