This is as-documented. Per the docs:"""If a package is built from a source distribution or checkout, it will be extracted to a subdirectory of the specified directory."""
That is, --build-dir applies only to SVN checkouts (done by easy_install itself) and source distributions (i.e. sdist zipfiles and tarballs).
