This is actually intentional.  From "epan/filesystem.c":

       /*
         * Check whether WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is set in the
         * environment; if so, set running_in_build_directory_flag if we
         * weren't started with special privileges.  (If we were started
         * with special privileges, it's not safe to allow the user to point
         * us to some other directory; running_in_build_directory_flag, when
         * set, causes us to look for plugins and the like in the build
         * directory.)
         */

That seems reasonable to me, so I'd suggest we leave it as it is.
