The issue is not that they are dirty, but that those submodules are in the 
wrong commit.

To see the commit they are supposed to be in, in the qt5.git repository, run:
  git ls-tree @

The hash it prints is the commit the submodule is expected to be at and that 
git submodule update will check out.

So the question to you is: why didn't your git submodule command check the 
correct commit out?
