I tried this out on Debian unstable (using autoconf 2.72) and was able
to reproduce your issue.
I compared the output of autoconfi 2.71 and 2.72 and they differ.
Upstream fixed this issue in the following commit:

commit a8f52ce225cc31a5d61f7a8de5da8c7c64834a50

    configure: fix broken m4 syntax in TLS options

    Commit b589696f added lines to some shell within AC_ARG_WITH macros, but
    inadvertently failed to move the final closing ).

    Quote the script section using braces.

    So, if these problems have been around for a while, how did I find them?
    Only because I did a configure including these options:

        $ ./configure --with-openssl --without-rustls
          SSL:              enabled (OpenSSL)

    Closes #9344

I applied it on top of 073268a6de3 and everything works as expected
(except the two acl tests that failed, as I wrote before).

Greetings
Roland
