VERSION should be defined in config.h. I suspect you are building
from a not-quite-clean checkout. Perhaps you ran plain "autoconf"?
"autoreconf -I m4" at the root of the trunk might fix things,
or you could try a clean checkout.
It used to be that you could invoke "autoconf" etc. without the
"-I m4", but nowadays you need the "-I m4".

Do you think INSTALL.BZR file should be updated with this information.

I'm not sure why they'd need to be updated.
If you follow those instructions, things work, no?
I did add the info to admin/make-tarball.txt, which mentioned
invoking autoconf. But I didn't see the need to update
INSTALL.BZR, as it doesn't mention autoconf.

Without "autoreconf -I m4" it did not work for me.

What are the failure symptoms and what platform are you on?
I just now tried "configure; make bootstrap" on a fresh
copy of the trunk (RHEL 5.5 x86-64) and had no problems.
I did not need to run autoreconf.

Mine was not a fresh copy.
I did "bzr update" and then ./configure && make bootstrap

Even then there should be no reason to run "autoconf" by hand.
Hmm, perhaps this scenario happened?
A. Somebody committed "configure.in" without
also committing the corresponding "configure" etc. files.
B. You did a "bzr up", and then ran "configure" without
"--enable-maintainer-mode", as shown above.
(A) happened in bzr 103411, which was around the time that
you reported the issue, so that might explain things.
Is it normal to commit configure.in without also committing
the corresponding changes to 'configure'? That can cause
confusion, as it can cause a bzr checkout to be inconsistent
and unbuildable. "configure --enable-maintainer-mode" works
around some of these problems, but not all, I expect.

I may do that sometimes, yes, because I consider regenerating configure
and committing it a PITA. I usually don't have the same version of
autoconf as the last guy, and I dislike adding a large, meaningless
chunk to the diff.

If this is standard practice, perhaps we should have --enable-maintainer-mode
be the default behavior for 'configure'. That way, if someone does
a "bzr update" that updates configure.in without updating "configure",
then "make" should do the right thing and run "autoconf" to
rebuild "configure".

What's the problem with _not_ doing that, ie the current set-up? Don't
they just get an out-of-date configure, or is there some internal
inconsistency? Eg my 2011-02-24 change to configure.in was of no
practical consequence. There's no pressing need to regenerate configure
just for that.

The message that started this thread
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-02/msg01077.html>
reported a build failure due to a missing VERSION in config.h.
I was thinking this might be due to an out-of-date 'configure'.
However, given your further explanation, I probably jumped the gun,
and the original problem was elsewhere (nobody knows where, alas).
