I just checked. It is intentional that docdir is not buildrooted unlike
mandir. It is due to the way the autoconf process works.
In the Makefile, you have the following:
...
htmldir = $(docdir)/html/docbook-utils-0.6
...
install-htmlDATA: $(html_DATA)
...
$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(htmldir)
^^^^^^^^^^^
so the buildrooting is done outside of the "docdir" variable by autoconf
default behaviour.
I know this is not logical, but I'm not responsible for that.
I encourage you to give a try at building once agin the package to check what
I'm saying.
