Very confusing. Why is this confusing? distclean brings you to the state you are in after unpacking a release tarball (a.k.a. "distribution"). The tarball definitely includes the generated charset map files, so distclean does its job correctly in this case. The description of distclean in the top-level Makefile.in says as much; if you think the text there is not clear enough, we can improve it.
