Yes. make(1) is invoking itself recursively because of this bug. The aposite term is "fork bomb". Eventually you'll run out of system resources and the command will fail. When Stacey said "sorts itself out", I believe he was talking about getting fixes committed to the ports tree. He didn't mean that there would be loads of error messages printed out, and then the command would succeed anyhow.
