Yes. It's one of the many issues we currently have with the meson build.
See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/4201

Which is why the meson build is absolutely not replacing the autotools one
so far. We still officially ask people to use autotools (in the context of
a final build, like packaging; developers who want to contribute are
obviously welcome to use meson so that they can contribute to fix the
build).

It is far from being the only issue:

Patches welcome.
