We carefully only update $@ if it's changed, then touch it anyhow?

This seems like a transcription error, since originally we were touching 
a timestamp file, or perhaps leftover from testing?

The same pattern occurs later, as well.

Is this boilerplate really needed before including the makefile 
fragment, since '+=' should work even if the variable isn't already defined?
