I see mainly two possible behaviors for "pacman -Ss" :
1) list everything
2) fail and print a help message asking for an argument

I don't think the first one is problematic, but maybe he was expecting the
second one.

I'm confused here. So the error comes from tar, and not from "make install",
right?
The "return 1" isn't skipped as it was pretented? That would be a bit odd.

yes,i expect the second because of pacman.pot :

#: src/pacman/pacman.c:562
msgid "no targets specified (use -h for help)
"

here its PKGBUILD

pkgname=bsc-beta
pkgver=4.0.05
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Two panels file mamager"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.beesoft.org/bsc.html"
license="GPL"
depends=('qt4')
source=(http://www.beesoft.org/download/bsc_${pkgver}.beta_src.tar.bz2)
md5sums=()

build() {
cd $startdir/src/bsc
/usr/bin/qmake
make PREFIX=/opt/bsc
make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/opt/bsc install || return 1
}

I thing its bad to hide a error by default,maybe its useful a options like
options=(emptypkg)

Ok, I see.
But what you don't understand is that there are no errors!
That make install doesn't do anything, but it does it without errors :)
So there is nothing wrong at all, no hidden errors..
