It appears to be a bug in automake.   I hacked around it with

Index: automake.in

            next if $X eq 'EXTRA';

+           next if $X eq 'INSTALL';

            # A blatant hack: we rewrite each _PROGRAMS primary to
            # include EXEEXT when in Cygwin32 mode.
            if ($seen_exeext && $primary eq 'PROGRAMS')

Perhaps someone else can comment on a proper solution?
