It is.  This works fine for me, as documented.

You're going to have to provide a complete example that can reproduce
the problem; your email just gives some snippets and my attempt to
reproduce it with a simple makefile failed:

  $ cat Makefile
  recurse: ; @$(MAKE) -s print
  print: ; @echo hi

  $ make
  hi

???

Doesn't this work properly for you?
