I don't have the source package in front of me so I can't say for sure, but my first (and only) guess for why this would happen is if the package's clean target has additional dependencies (which don't actually need to be declared in build-depends) that you don't have installed; hence the first command succeeds, but the latter fails. If you want to call pdebuild from within the source dir in this case, use the --use-pdebuild-internal flag.
