I'm unable to reproduce this with current ‘python-setuptools’. I get::

=====
$ install_root="$(mktemp -d)"

$ PYTHONPATH="$install_root/lib/python2.6/site-packages" easy_install-2.6 
--prefix="$install_root" numpy
Creating /tmp/tmp.SZ8XmYH5ie/lib/python2.6/site-packages/site.py

Best match: numpy 1.5.1
Adding numpy 1.5.1 to easy-install.pth file

Are you able to come up with a test case that fails with current versions
of this package?
