Problem with GNU make 3.44

I can't seem to get a terminal match-anything rule to work with GNU
make version 3.44.  When I create a rule containing a double-colon,
'make -p' does not indicate that it is terminal.

In rule.c, create_pattern_rule() sets r->terminal=terminal and then
calls new_pattern_rule() which unconditionally sets r->terminal=0.
New_pattern_rule() is also called by install_pattern_rule(), which
knows to wait until new_pattern_rule() returns before setting
r->terminal.

I would think that this would prevent any non-default rule from being
considered terminal, but here are my example files anyway:

Make -p reports my rule as:

      depends on: ../foo/s.%
