"Waiting for unfinished jobs" is a pointer to multiple jobs.  If there
are rules creating or deleting this file or other sideeffects or
temporaries without listing them explicitly, make sees no reason not to
run the actions of several rules in parallel.

And it would seem that it ran one rule that removed out/contributor.texi
at an unexpected point of time.
