Thanks for this

--disable-rpath doesn't appear to be a standard configure option and
didn't resolve the issue

Therefore, I've used the sed hack, that did eliminate rpath

I had seen that wiki before, but I felt that it was ambiguous about what
it was aimed at - I had the impression it was for people who had
hard-coded rpath settings into Makefiles or configure.ac - the situation
facing my package doesn't arise from any such upstream badness, it is
more about the way libtool has been working.

It has also been acknowledged on the libtool mailing list:
