it's an explicit rule, which creates file ".moc.cpp" from file ".h".
You have to use this:
SUFFIXES = .moc.cpp
.h.moc.cpp:
$(MOC) -o $@ $<

It's not hard to imagine. The .SUFFIXES special target, which Automake
generates, is standardized by POSIX. I can imagine a sane implmentation
of .SUFFIXES counts with this possibility.

If you decided to go this way, you could autogenerate the list of the
dependencies and include it into Makefile.am. The include directive is
handled by Automake, so the result is portable.
