Well, the point is that
autoreconf subdir/foobar.ac
simply won't cause the called tools to use foobar.ac, but the first that
exists in the list
subdir/configure.ac
subdir/configure.in
The file name you pass currently is stripped off as you suggest, but
since it won't be used, I think that it is confusing to document this
unless it is actually used.
Cheers,
Ralf
