You didn't mention what version of automake you are using.
That information is a very important piece of any bug report.
I believe this works in the current cvs automake.
It might be broken in the 1.4 series.
There is a workaround, which is to set INSTALL_SCRIPT and
INSTALL_PROGRAM yourself, and then simply use `make install'.
