Sadly it does.

Yes, it doesn't expect people to use both -b and -B, rather either one
or the other. The dpkg-buildpackage code reads:
binarytarget=binary
checkbuilddep_args=''
[...]
[parsing arguments:]
[...]
-b) binaryonly=-b; [ "$sourceonly" ] && \
{ echo >&2 "$progname: cannot combine $1 and -S" ; exit
2 ; } ;;
-B) binaryonly=-B; checkbuilddep_args=-B; binarytarget=binary-arch;
[ "$sourceonly" ] && \
{ echo >&2 "$progname: cannot combine $1 and -S" ; exit
2 ; } ;;
[...]
Note that -b does not undo the changes made by -B.
I've cloned this bug against dpkg-dev and provided a patch for it.
I've also fixed the debuild behaviour.
