I'm back at a real computer and able to look at the source.

You're right that M::B doesn't store things added to @INC in the
config and it really should. It assumes that any subclass is "on the
fly" in _build/lib rather than possibly in inc/.  I noticed this when
fixing a bunch of other config timing bugs relating to install
directories but never got back to it.

Currently, you probably need to do this:

  use lib 'inc';
  my $mb = Module::Build->resume;

It wouldn't take much effort to save @INC additions in the config
somewhere and deal with them appropriately in resume().

I've created an RT ticket to track this issue:

Thank you for noticing and reporting this.
