the guidelines are pretty clear on what is and is not included by default. If you call autoconf or outomake then you need to BR them its fairly simple. The problem should have shown up in your local mock build before you committed the build.
Thats the point... nothing error-ed out because there was an
outdated makefile that already existed and so it was used...
Again, this is an *undetectable* situation that will cause
rpm corruption but is easily fixed by simply adding autoconf
and automake to the buildroot..

You patched Makefile.am, but didn't re-run automake? Your packaging already had a bug then.
I agree with both you and Jessie in the fact that it was a bug
in my spec file, but that not the point...

This point is there is a huge hole in the build process that
will silently and cleanly produce a severely corrupted rpm
that can have a ripple effect on the entire system... And
there is an incredibly easy way to close that hole by simply
adding two very small but highly used packages... I really
don't seen the problem with this...
