I have not tried it, but from your explanation, I would suspect that buildout does some monkeypatching which is not exactly the same as setuptools itself, and that would break numpy.distutils. The distutils architecture unfortunately requires to take into account and special case any distutils extensions, because of the "extension as command inheritance" approach. I know I prefer spending my time on new packaging solution, but I would take patches.
