for the same reason my package didn't FTBFS *in Debian*: rules define  
--prefix, which masks the bug. The bug is hit when there's no defined  
prefix and the configure script has to guess it. I thought this was  
clear enough from my initial bug report: "when configure is called  
without arguments"...
