I have not yet found a pattern that I can identify.

Indeed, I have not seen any evidence, either in the failed
archive build logs, or on my development machine, that dh is having any
issues discovering whether the an override target exists or not. I
understand it processes the output from make.

From IRC, i think dh looks at make -n output like so:
return defined $output && length $output &&
$output !~ /\*\*\* No rule to make target (`|')\Q$target\E'/;
Presumably after setting the locale to C or something.
