Configure syntax error when building from 6.7.8-7 tarball

Version 6.7.8-7 configure line 3665 reads:
MAGICK_SVN_VERSION=Unversioned directory
Whitespace causes configure to error out with:
directory: command not found
Looking configure.ac this seems to come from 'svnversion' command run while generating configure. Assignment seems to strip away non-numerical characters that follow numerical characters, but otherwise 'svnversion' output gets assigned as it is. I don't know what you'd want to get assigned in case of generating configure outside svn checkout.
