Looks like if I unset MAKELEVEL in /etc/sorcery/config the problem goes
away and make stops thinking its being called recursively.

Some background: cast builds a dependency tree and converts it to
a makefile, then has make execute that makefile, the actions from the
makefile then compile the spell and run triggers, which then run cast
again, this time make gets run again and thinks its being run recursively,
so then that instance of make calls cleanse. Now cleanse learns dependency
ordering from make also, but now make is two levels down in recursion so
it feels compelled to tell us when its entering and leaving directories.
Each recursive step make increments the value of the MAKELEVEL variable
(learn something every day), if I unset it then make no longer thinks
its being used for recursively and for actually building things.
