I'm still unable to reproduce this behavior, but I think I've found
the cause.

Try this patch:

-------------------------------
diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 22a3878..224c8be 100644
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac

 dnl
 dnl  ######################################################################
--------------------------------

Let me know if that works.  If so, I'll submit it upstream to Adaptive.

It's poorly documented, but if PKG_CHECK_MODULES() is invoked for the
first time inside a conditional, PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG must be invoked
unconditionally prior to any PKG_CHECK_MODULES() calls.
