Where's the "Source" tag?
I think that if you use "Source", then rpm will untar the source in a dir
(expecting the untarred dource dir will have some specific name) and sets up
internal variables to search for %doc into that dir.
If you don't use the usual setup, that variable will be empty and so fall
back into common BUILD dir

The %setup macro is also missing.

So it seems the test rpm/spec you are using is not ok to test rpm
capabilities since it's not standard.
