This happens in HEAD and 0.6.2:

When installing a new tracker home the file
TEMPLATE-INFO.txt gets copied to that new directory by
roundup.init.install().

Templates are searched for in the following directories:
 1. <prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*
 2. <roundup.admin.__file__>/../templates/*
 3. <current working dir>/*
 4. <current working dir>

If the current working directory contains a tracker
home when installing a new one, it will be used as a
template, even though it's the third rule and
<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/* contains a template
of the same name.
