I think this misses the objection.

My understanding of the earlier report was that, in the -include case,
the rule that attempts to create done was not being exercised - the
user expects that, if there's a rule to make done, it will be run if
done does not exist; this happened in older versions (and the rule in
question happened to consist only of producing an error message) but,
apparently, no longer happens.
But I may have mis-understood the reporter ...
