File it as a bug in autoconf.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen projects using macros that start with AC_ (orbit has one, I think). Maybe they do this for macros they want to propose for inclusion in autoconf. Will autoconf choke on these, too? (I wonder how to find all of these... I suppose searching through the debian source tree and bsd port system for all instances of AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED might be a good start...) - Dan
