I think that Iavor is facing the same problems that I reported on this list on May 15th. I also see ghcpkg01 failing (when run during the validation) and passing (when run separately).
When you ran it separately, did you say BINDIST=YES ? If you didn't then it would have used the inplace package.conf.d, not the bindisttest one. I recently added some "ghc-pkg check -v" calls in the validate script incidentally, so if you log the output of the validate run then that might give some more clues as to when/how it goes wrong.

I think that these problems are likely to be caused be build artifacts left from previous validation - package.cache files (and many others) are not removed by `make maintainer-clean`.
test_bindist in bindisttest/ghc.mk removes the entire "bindisttest/install dir" tree before installing the bindist there. Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
