While this will behave okay, it still prints a spurious

Please, use quotes:

Thank you for the feedback.
Did you run configure without a HOME environment variable? It may not
be documented anywhere in the autoconf documentation, but this is
probably not allowed (at least for autoconf-2.13). Fortunately, this
is a very rare condition - I have never seen this bug reported before,
so I think the potential benefit of fixing this problem is very low.
Therefore, if we had a bug tracking system, I'd mark this bug as WONTFIX.
