To me it makes sense: if Amarok has been installed to PREFIX (and has been started from PREFIX), then the collection scanner from PREFIX should be used. And not the first one found in $PATH - could be from a different Amarok version.

How about not installing the collection scanner to PREFIX/bin but to PREFIX/libexec or whatever?
