Thanks for the bug report. I don't have time to solve this at the moment. But it should be easy, it can be solved by adding an entry for each .m4 file to EXTRA_DIST in the toplevel Makefile.am and running make dist afterwards to verify that they actually get included. Can you try to do that and submit a patch?
Created attachment 99117 [details] [review] pygtk-dist-m4.patch Seems to work.
