Yes, and it's fixed in git.

make rpm builds from a tarball generated by make dist.

    /usr/src/packages/BUILD/libvirt-0.8.6/tests/commanddata/test16.log

is missing in the tarball because the whole commanddata directory is
not marked for distribution in tests/Makefile.am.

This is easy to fix, but right now I've no time to fix it myself, so
somebody else might post a patch to fix this before me :)
