Executive summary: this is a KDE problem, not an automake problem. The problem is with the am_edit script: it doesn't understand the backslash-end-of-line line continuations.
Specifically, in noteedit/icons/Makefile.am, data_ICON is defined as a set of lines joined by \-newlines. These is passed through into the Makefile.in, and then am_edit reads this, and splits it into entries by whitespace. The \-newlines are thus accidentally included into the entreies. The following situation causes problems: ... \ perccross - an entry "\perccross" is extracted, rather than "percross". The problem is hidden in a lot of cases because many of the entries in data_ICON are duplicated elsewhere (in the middle of a line) I assume that it worked in automake 1.4 because automake 1.4 rewrote the definition of data_ICON slightly such that the bug didn't fire. The correct solution is to fix am_edit so that it understands \-newline. A workaround is to start each line of the definition of data_ICON with a newline, and ensure that there is a space before the \ at the ends of all lines.
