So that seems good if we reveal this sort of bugs...

Ouch.  
(BTW I'm surprized that BSD m4 is supported, I thought only GNU's was.)

Is there any way Automake can filter user files from Autoconf's files?

Is it enough if Automakes ignore all `m4_include' traces up to the
first occurrence which is either in aclocal.m4 or configure.(in|ac)?
(This assumes Autoconf won't try to m4_include something conditionally.)

Or any way Autoconf could hide its includes from `--trace m4_include'?
