If it is in the tree, it needs to work. It is broken in about a dozen places now.

Makefile.inc1 is the only place it is documented right now. NO_ROOT creates a METADATA file for the attributes of the file and does simple copies instead. This lets you build entirely as an unpriv’d user, but still use makefs to get a filesystem with the proper attributes. In many ways it is what you want, and you could get what you want by specifying /dev/null for that METADATA if it were more tightly coupled.
