I know this does not fit the rest of the picture, but whenever I have
the "exuberant ctags" package available, I just issue

$ ctags -R $srcdir

from $top_builddir and be done with it.  This is not portable to other
ctags programs, however (I think), so it cannot serve as a general
solution, while your workaround should be fine in general.
