Problems with Automake 1.13 and 1.13.1

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Automake 1.13.1 also miscompiles the following:

TESTS = run-bindtests \
	$(sort \
		$(patsubst %,%.bc,$(test_progs)) \
		$(patsubst %,%.opt,$(test_progs)))

which worked in previous versions.  It turns it into the following
which breaks make because of the unclosed '$(sort' variables:

run-bindtests.log: run-bindtests
        @p='run-bindtests'; \
        b='run-bindtests'; \
        $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \
        --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \
        $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\
- $(LOG_COMPILE) \
        "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT)
$(sort.log: $(sort
        @p='$(sort'; \
        b='$(sort'; \
        $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \
        --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \
        $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\
- $(LOG_COMPILE) \
        "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT)
$(patsubst.log: $(patsubst
		@p='$(patsubst'; \
        b='$(patsubst'; \
        $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \
        --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \
        $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\
- $(LOG_COMPILE) \
        "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT)
[etc]

If I file a bug about this, is it likely to get attention?  It's just
as easy for me to change my code so it works.

Rich.
