I can't reproduce your problem with tiny examples:

/tmp % cat configure.ac                                           nostromo 20:15
AC_INIT
AC_CONFIG_FILES([ \
  foo \
  bar \
baz \
])
/tmp % autoconf -t 'AC_CONFIG_FILES:${::}%'                       nostromo 20:15
foo bar baz 


Can you?  Are you by any lack of luck, running some platform with a
weird notion of \n?  What does /usr/casc/babel/apps/buildtools/bin/m4
--version say?
