Ned Deily added the comment:

Files are recorded during bundle-style installation, too.  Without spending a 
lot of time looking at it right now, I believe the null location reported is a 
red herring; I think that has to do with packages that allow themselves to be 
installed in arbitrary locations.  The Python installer packages do not allow 
that.  That said, the paths reported by the --files options could be more 
accurate.  I'll see what I can do as part of the conversion to producing flat 
packages.  There are other issues, though.  There are files created by the 
packages' postflight scripts.  In particular, the many .pyc and .pyo files are 
created by compileall during post-installation so these files are not recorded 
as installed.  Thus, you cannot currently depend on the results of --files to 
uninstall all files.  Automated uninstalls have never been supported; it would 
be nice to do.
