How unfortunate. binutils don't contain nor use the 'make dist' rule
which contains the bug. The Automake option 'no-dist' prevents the
rules to be present in the generated makefiles.
Why can gnu.org not grep for the presence of the rule instead?
That's the usual Autoconf-like approach, and distributions are
going to backport security fixes over upgrading versions, too.

I'd have preferred to avoid version churn between binutils and GCC,
at this GCC stage, for a purely administrative issue.

I can't approve or reject that. Have you tested it?
(Not that I know of any incompatibilities.)
