The problem is caused by intltoolize and autopoint fighting over who
owns po/Makefile.in.in.  If you are using autoreconf, autopoint will be
automatically invoked when it finds either AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION or
AM_GNU_GETTEXT in your configure.ac file. One way to get around this
problem is to trick autoreconf into executing intltoolize instead. Here
is how I do it for regexxer:

    http://git.gnome.org/cgit/regexxer/tree/autogen.sh

Apart from that, it may also be necessary to use AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
instead of AM_GNU_GETTEXT, but I'm not sure if this is still strictly
required.  If you do use it instead, autoreconf will not try to invoke
${AUTOPOINT} for you unless you also have a AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION call.
