No, IMO this is a generic bug in configure. It should check for
libraries first, then headers. If the library needed to provide a
requested feature is present, but not the headers, it should bitch.
NB In INSTALL, somewhere near the top, you'll probably find a warning
about the perverse behavior (from the free software point of view) of
free software distributions which provide libraries for running
software but not the headers needed to build software.
