Different generator files when installing exported package vs. calling conan install

I have written an example conanfile, to reproduce this issue:

from conans import ConanFile

class ConanFileInst(ConanFile):
    name = 'test-package'
    version = '1.0.0'
    generators = 'txt'

    def package_info(self):
        self.deps_cpp_info.defines = ['A=B', 'C=D']

Now you run following commands:

conan install

conan export demo/demo
conan install test-package/1.0.0@demo/demo --build

Now we have generated conanbuildinfo.txt files both in current directory and “.conan\data\test-package\1.0.0\demo\demo\build\[hash]”, but they are different. In current directory conanbuildinfo.txt contains [defines] section with “A=B” and “C=D”, but conanbuildinfo.txt from .conan repository have this section empty.
