Nope.  That's just what func_configure does: From defs.m4sh:

|     eval func_msg $SHELL "$my_testdir/configure" $my_args
|     eval $SHELL "$my_testdir/configure" $my_args || \
|       { func_msg "FAILED: Configuring in $my_testdir"
|         ls -ltr $my_testdir
|         eval $SHELL -vx "$my_testdir/configure" $my_args;
|         exit $EXIT_FAILURE;
|       }

The verbose output was added with

Should we leave it in?  It confused the heck out of me at least.
If we leave it in, I suggest adding some
  $ECHO "re-running configure with verbose output"
or such.
