It turns out that those *.elc files are not in the tarball because of my own
stupid mistake.  When I ran make-dist, I got a warning about that.  I didn't
want to think about it, so I reran make-dist with --no-check rather than fixing
the problem.

Could it be that the *.elc files were not in the tarball because the
build failed at some point?

No, they weren't in the tarball because when I built emacs prior to running make-dist, I didn't specify --with-native-compilation.  Currently lisp/Makefile.in has

ifneq ($(HAVE_NATIVE_COMP),yes)
compile-targets: $(filter-out ./emacs-lisp/comp-cstr.elc,$(filter-out ./emacs-lisp/comp.elc,$(TARGETS)))

That seems wrong to me.

There's still a bug in src/Makefile.in: Make could try building
native-lisp even though it exists, because the rules that create that
directory don't tell Make the directory is created as a side effect.
If and when Make tries to rune the ../native-lisp: rule, it will fail
because mkdir will fail.

I see you've fixed that now.  I'll test it while building a new tarball.

That fix seems OK. But there are still problems building from a tarball. First, there's an obvious typo (presumably a copy/paste error) in this part of the recipe for ../native-lisp:

  cp -f $@ $(bootstrap_pdmp)

I assume you want

  cp -f $(pdmp) $(bootstrap_pdmp)

if that's even needed at all.

Second, I get the following native-compilation error, which doesn't occur in an ordinary build (i.e., not from a tarball):

  ELN  ../lisp/disp-table.eln
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (native-compiler-error "../lisp/disp-table.el" "Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax...") signal(native-compiler-error ("../lisp/disp-table.el" "Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax..."))
  comp--native-compile("../lisp/disp-table.el")
  batch-native-compile(t)
  eval((batch-native-compile t) t)
command-line-1(("--eval" "(setq load-prefer-newer t)" "-l" "comp" "-f" "byte-compile-refresh-preloaded" "--eval" "(batch-native-compile t)" "../lisp/disp-table.el"))
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

I'll retry with make -k to see if there are any more such errors, but I might not get to it until tomorrow.
