That's not a Custom bug, it's the integer zero XEmacs plist bug (there 
have been many messages about this since 20.2 release about this).  I've
spent many hours chasing this down and still don't have much of a clue
what exactly is causing it.  As a workaround, you can try:

$ rm lib-src/DOC src/?emacs
$ make

This has worked for me the last several times I've encountered this
problem.
