It's up to you to judge that. However, I recommend to leave that bug
open, so that people can easily find out what's wrong.
If you want to check whether the other automake packages are also
affected: Compare the statement where the \pdfoutput routine is used;
if it looks the same as in automake1.9, it is okay, otherwise it is more
or less affected (there's an "intermediate" version of that check around
that only gives a bug when used more than once).
