After some actual inspection, and a bit of RTFMing, things became clearer.

There is indeed a general bug in the original source that requires
fixing.  The following line is sorely missing from the top-level
Makefile.am:

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

It doesn't look like this should be buildable without that line, on any
other platform.  If it does, their gnome-autogen.sh must be rather
different from Cygwin's.
