To some extend yes, because

automake-1.13.1 is first release of a new release series (contains 
incompatibilities) and is known to suffer from subtile regressions.

Some people call automake-1.13.1 a brown paper bag release and are 
eagerly waiting for an automake-1.13.2 bug fix release.

To some extend no, because I haven't yet had enough time to test it [1].

FYI: RTEMS not carrying the auto*-generated files in git also shares its 
guilt in testing this being tedious.

Correct, but these should not be a major issue.

Christmas, but I am trying to catch up.
