Well, the first makefile below does work the way I think you expect
with 3.79.1 and make-3.81beta4. But don't you find it confusing?
foo := bar
.PHONY: foo
foo:
@echo $(foo)
[output]
Making target foo
bar
Instead, why not write the following?
foo := bar
.PHONY: $(foo)
$(foo):
@echo Making target $@
@echo $(foo)
[output]
Making target bar
bar
