Yes; it works for almost all of the packages that I use, but not auctex which
is unfortunate. Still, as there isn't a standard for doing this on emacs, I
guess auctex's method is as good as everyone else.
Just to explain, the reason I do this is that my emacs configuration and
add-on packages are shared between the five machines and 2 operating systems
that I use regularly. I use unison to sync it all together; this means I only
have to install things once and behaviour is identical between my machines.

I don't think that this was the problem. I've just tried again, including with
--prefix=/tmp and got the same thing.
