My first guess is that in some circumstances setuptools is doing the installing and in others it's the dh-python pyproject plugin (using the installer module). Looking at the build log on buildd.d.o, I can see that build is using the plugin/installer. I think it would be useful to stop the build right before the install step starts [1], manually unpack the wheel (it's a zip file) and see if it has all the files in it. If it does, then plugin/build is doing the right thing and it's an issue with either the plugin or the installer module. Since the build stage uses setuptools as part of it's build process, I thing it's most likely an installer issue. I recently found the installer module doesn't correctly handle flit data files, but I was able to work around that with appropriate .install files.
