[Distutils] easy_install prefers source?

At the PyCon sprints Jim and I were working with easy_install and
working_env under Windows and noticed some odd behavior. When within
an activated working environment, attempting to do something like:
c:\...>easy_install lxml==1.1
attempts to retrieve the source distribution rather than the available
Windows binary egg for PyPI. Is this the expected behavior? I would
have expected easy_install to prefer binary eggs.
Thanks,
Nathan
