Your installer worked on a non-admin account for me, Stephane. Now I just have to figure out what the difference is between yours and mine (can't imagine what would make one able to write to /Library/Receipts and another not).
I'll report back tomorrow for everyone else's benefit, but thanks very much for taking the time to build the test.

Hmm, it works fine on my Mac (I'm using Jaguar for this test).
Sample package:

When I change the default location to ~/, the file is correctly
installed.
