You are right. The problem comes from the fact that generated files are
placed under CVS control. The real problem is auto* version
compatibility however. There are virtually no two dists shiping the same
autoconf/automake versions and two auto* versions are nearly always
incompatible in one way or the other. To avoid this problem, I put the
generated files in the CVS, which seemed to cause the lesser problems.

This auto* version problem is known to the developers and they promissed
to do better in the futur. Once I see this working, I will hapily remove
the generated files, but until then we should hide the other problems
...

Ciao
