Thanks for tracking this down. This is due to an incompatibility of
zsh with POSIX shells. I installed this patch into the Automake and
Autoconf main branches.

* lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
