This is intentional.  The autoloads are generated just before
installing, since that's where they are needed.  I really don't want to
encourage further use of the git worktree as the "org installation",
although it sort of works if you do a "make autoloads".

You can now easily keep multiple installations within the org directory
if so desired (I do this myself for testing).  Using the worktree
instead can lead to very hard to track bugs when the autoload files get
out of sync with the sources.  This is the reason I always remove them
before compilation and I should probably remove them just after
installation as well.

Which is what it does.
