This has been fixed in CVS and will be in the next version of GNU make.

No, the example you're giving is (I think) legitimately incorrect. If your rule creates a file it needs to list that file as a target. If it doesn't, then make doesn't know about it.

The problem is a invalid assumption that if a implicit prerequisite's directory does not exist at the beginning then it must not be a candidate. It fails to not notice that during the bulding of other rules the directory will in fact be created.
