But if you're building from tarball, all the macros should be expanded
in configure (and included in aclocal.m4). Diffing 1.4.1 shows that it
was there before. The new version was generated with automake-1.8.5,
so maybe it fooled itself that XORG_RELEASE_VERSION was not a macro
when parsing configure.ac.

Try it yourself. When you run configure, it just has a command called
XORG_RELEASE_VERSION that obviously does nothing. The solution being
to regenerate the autotools so that it is expanded as a macro.
