Yes, with your change. I am on 9e361ecea878 with no changes now, I
configure with ../configure so srcdir=.. for reference. The command that
fails is
cd doc/refcard && \
TEXINPUTS="../doc/refcard::../doc/interpreter::./doc/interpreter::../doc/interpreter::./doc/interpreter::../doc/interpreter::./doc/interpreter:::::" \
tex refcard-a4.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (preloaded format=tex)
! I can't find file `refcard-a4.tex'.
<*> refcard-a4.tex
(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
Please type another input file name:
which looks accurate to me (that it can't find the input file).

I think in general once the current directory is changed you lose all
assumptions about the relationship between the source directory and
build directory so that's a downside to cd'ing.
I can also get your change to work for me by changing:
-$(AM_V_TEX)cd $(@D) && \
- TEXINPUTS="$(srcdir)/doc/refcard:$(TEXINPUTS):" \
+ TEXINPUTS="$(abs_srcdir)/doc/refcard:$(TEXINPUTS):" \
$(TEX) $(<F) $(AM_V_texidevnull)
so maybe that's a better workaround.
We might want to do the same to the definition of TEXINPUTS elsewhere if
the current directory is going to be changing, the other relative
directories in that search path also become invalid.
