Hm, maybe it would help if pip install would copy only the files that are supposed to be part of the sdist, i.e. those registered in the source:MANIFEST.in file, instead of all files currently in the filesystem.

Note that this doesn't happen when installing from an sdist (because sdists don't contain _trial_temp); it only happens when installing directly from a checkout on which tests have been run. So it is reasonable for MANIFEST.in not to be consulted, since, IIUC, the purpose of MANIFEST.in is only to determine what goes into an sdist. However, I don't understand why pip install is looking at directories that were not specified in the call to setuptools.setup.
