Yes, it would be.

On my machine, however, po/POTFILES is 664, so I can rm it just fine.

It is generated by a very simple sed script, with output redirected to the
file (which has first been removed), so nothing fancy is going on.  What
will the umask be when you run ./configure?  If it's something like 222,
then the new po/POTFILES file will be created 444, which could cause your
problem.
