This is in fact a bug, many thanks for pointing that out.

Hm, you should suggest this to Thomas Esser, the one who puts teTeX
together. However, this script only works for a limited set of packages,
and it doesn't install the documentation. Personally, I find it of very
little use.
There is a ctan2tds script in the tex-live distribution, and it would be
really great if this could be generalised, and be used to install or
update new packages from CTAN intoe the LOCALTEXMF tree.
