%clean is not run with eg. "rpm -q --specfile" nor "rpm -bs". And it's not
even possible to pass --clean to the former, and passing it to the latter
does not clean up the created temp dir either - it doesn't run the
actual %clean scriptlet from the specfile.

Why not? Seems to work fine here in the few tests I've done.
