doing a ktrace on a dummy package shows the following information:
here's the test plist (in directory /tmp/x.x) being read in..
"@cwd /tmp/cccc
@srcdir /tmp/xx
x.x
"
this is the 'created' package description being written out..
"@comment PKG_FORMAT_REVISION:1.1
@name AAAA
@cwd /tmp/cccc
@srcdir /tmp/xx
x.x
@comment MD5:1d882c9823718b00feb42ba5707f9c71
@cwd .
@ignore

And here's the command fed to tar..

The "-C /tmp/cccc" shouldn't be there. Somehow we need to delay the
emmitting of that set of options until it's known that there is no
srcdir following it. Alternatively, the man page hints that
a 'srcdir' would stop a following 'cwd' from having effect in the create
phase.
Unfortunatly changing the order of the entries or adding an arg for
srcdir doesn't remove the extra -C command.
