EasyBuild recognises modules only, if the module name is available then it is installed. In your case you have the path to the original module tree in MODULEPATH so it is able to load the exact module. Try unset MODULEPATH and add the --missing option to see what would get installed (the default location is added by EasyBuild to MODULEPATH, so it can be completely unset when you call the command).
