Thanks for the bug report. I reproduced the problem and installed the attached patch to Autoconf master to fix it.

One of the Automake 1.16.2 tests is using an Autoconf feature that was removed in Autoconf 2.50; the patch works around the problem by having Autoconf merely issue a warning about the removed feature, instead of failing entirely, as this will be more backward-compatible. The patch also adds text to the Autoconf manual to inform users about the need for avoiding shell variables in header template file names.

With autoconf-2.67b, two automake-1.16.2 tests t/autohdr4.sh and t/autohdr-subdir-pr12495.sh ] now fail (previously, automake had no failures and old autoconf had the proverbial shedload, now autoconf has no failures.

System is linux x86_64, a variation of linuxfromscratch.

Unsure if this belongs with autoconf or automake, so initially reporting to autoconf as requested in the release announcement.
