I complete concur with you here.

It happens without specifying any extra options, ./configure
automatically finds autoopts-config and uses it to locate the
installed versions.

For the time being I am using this hack in Debian:
        # force regeneration of autogen-ed files.
        for i in `grep -l AutoGen-ed src/*.c` ; do \
                t=`basename $$i .c` ;\
                rm -v $$i src/$$t.h;\
                done

The problem really does not suggest a tidy resolution to me either.
