Even libtoolize does not enforce AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR but just issues a
warning when only ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is present, so that might be present
even in lintool-using packages with only one macro dir.
I begin to agree with you that AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR should be left alone
by autoconf, with the downside that removing support for the legacy
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS/AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR from aclocal or from libtoolize
would not be reasonable to do within the next 5-10 years.
