I was doing 'make release' at the top level.

Right I've found the problem: Even with USE_LANG_CHOOSER := false
these rules in /utilities/dbootstrap/Makefile mean that the dir is needed
$(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/newt/libnewt.a:
cd $(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/newt; CFLAGS=-Os ./configure
$(MAKE) -C $(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/newt
$(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/slang/src/objs/libslang.a:
cd $(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/slang; CFLAGS=-Os ./configure
$(MAKE) -C $(UTF_LIBS_BASE)/slang

OK. It does now (although it didn't ~10 days ago). I think that means that
everything is in fact working OK; i.e. as the bf-utf dir is part of
bootfloppies then it's OK for it to be required, although it would be nice if
the above libraries weren't compiled when they aren't needed. I'm not quite
sure how to modify the Makefile to make this happen - I'll let you decide if
you want to do that. :-)
Next I've hit some kind of python problem. More if this turns out to be
something to do with bf...
