I think that the double quotes are turning the -m flags into a filename beginning with a space. The enclosed patch seems to work.
I saw the commit message, but the proposed solution still doesn't solve the problem: it is possible to have a utmp group defined but not use it for the file-permissions on /var/whatever. There's no 100% standard pathname for that file, so the configure script does some work to decide if it looks reasonable.
