This looks like a false positive: top-level .gitignore includes
'Makefile', which matches ALL files named Makefile at any depth
throughout the tree, and thus lib/Makefile does not need to be
additionally called out for being ignored.

I'm not sure if this is because I've built incrementally in a tree over
a long period of time, and now gnulib-tool is creating (but not
modifying) .gitignore in a different manner than it used to. I'm trying
a fresh clone to see if it reproduces from a clean environment.
