yes, absolutely sure.  the POTFILES.in macro depends on .potfiles,
which will force it to always run:

po/POTFILES.in: make-gnucash-potfiles .potfiles
	./make-gnucash-potfiles > ./po/POTFILES.in

.potfiles:


So, anytime you depend explicitly on po/POTFILES.in it will rebuild
the POTFILES.in file.

I've fixed this in SVN myself.
