Thanks!

Right. I suppose it'd be best to add some distcheck-time
code to prevent this sort of regression: configure as if
inotify were not available, and ensure the tail-related tests still pass.
Or maybe even add a hidden (three hyphen ---no-inotify, since we presume
it'll be used only for testing) option to expose that behavior without
the requirement to jump through build-time hoops.
What do you think?
