Yes, that explains it.  Prefixification works by effectively doing:

        my $installsitelib = $Config{installsitelib};
        $installsitelib =~ s/$Config{prefix}/$your_prefix/;

Since your $Config{installsitelib} is not under your $Config{prefix} the
above s/// will fail.  In that case MakeMaker falls back to a default which
is effectively "$your_prefix/lib/perl5/site_perl".  This is the behavior
you are seeing and it is "correct" in as far as prefixation can be correct.
