You're absolutely right of course. I've now created a temporary branch
`expose-bug-8485' off of the offending commit (v1.11-328-ge87c030 "Create
subdirs for generated sources even when not dep tracking"), cherry-picked
the commit introducing the new testcase (v1.11-362-g7ad822a "coverage:
test for automake bug#8485 (known regression)"), merged it back into
maint, merged maint into master, and pushed.
Sorry for the noise,
Stefano
