After a simple:
./configure
make
make DESTDIR=$PWD/instl install

The man pages are not installed even though they are in the released tarball.

I do not want to regnerate the man pages; itstool in not available on the target systems. I just want to install what is already there.

I haven't yet found a good way to properly fix this, but the following extra step:

DESTDIR=$(pwd)/yyy make -C man install-man

does install the manual pages for me.

I don't know why man_MANS in man/Makefile.am is not doing the right thing on its own.

Thanks. That workaround will be good enough for us.

For the record - I left out of the above that I did move the SUBDIRS+=man out of the if ENABLE_REGENERATE_MAN clause in Makefile.am.
