Thanks for one more (or actually many more :) data points!
As I wrote, it works for me in-tree, too.

Back then (TM), when you built off a tarball, there was
a positive advantage to this. Nowadays, with git, it has
lost much of its importance.
Oldtimer habits,if you will.
That was my original post's intention, to find out whether
Emacs still cares about out-of-tree builds. Had the answer
been "no", I'd changed that habit, but I understood Eli's
answer as "yes", so I'll try to find out :-)

Some time ago I have been doing that, and my experience was
like yours, yes.
