Follow-up Comment #1:
I don't believe this is a bug. The GNU make manual says:
`MAKEFLAGS' begins with a hyphen only when it begins with an option that has
no single-letter version, such as `--warn-undefined-variables'
In general, it's not correct to put $(MAKEFLAGS) in a recipe line when
invoking a sub-make. MAKEFLAGS is intended to be passed to the sub-make
through the environment, not the command line, and this will happen
automatically for you all the time.
Sub-makes should be invoked as just $(MAKE), with no $(MAKEFLAGS).
For more information, see section "Communicating Options to a Sub-make" in
the GNU make manual.
