That is simply not true (go and read what it does). buildinstall does run pkgorder (the version in the anaconda-runtime-*i386.rpm it finds in the RedHat/RPMS/ directory). By default (if --pkgorder is not specified), it creates a package order file in a temporary build tree (i386/image-template/), but this file is deleted when that directory is eventually blown away. So unless --pkgorder is specified to create it elsewhere, you will need to run pkgorder separately to create this file... it is needed by splitdistro and genhdlist if you intend to create iso installation images that work without constant disk-swapping.
