That would explain it; I constructed the package originally using 
0.11.x, and updated it to 0.12.1 later. As per the 0.12.1 
documentation, I'm updating this to 
AM_GNU_GETTEXT([no-libtool],[need-ngettext]), which should give me what 
I need.

Noted, and I do hereby record blushing that I missed this 
recommendation in the first place. Moral: read the Info file twice to 
make sure you didn't miss something.
