The code in question does not lose information about the location of the original source tree. On the contrary, it supplies that information. If you're suggesting that every installed Emacs should contain a string pointing to where it was built, I'm not sure that's a good idea. Generally speaking, builds should be reproducible and build products should not contain unimportant information about the build (such as timestamps and whatnot) as that makes it harder to reproduce them later.
