I don't know for sure, but from what I've gathered, NPM is using your .gitignore file as the .npmignore file. You should use a separate .npmignore file.

Thanks for the error report. I believe the issue was caused by the files property of the package.json, which is yet another way to include/exclude files from being published.

This was definitely a blind spot in my testing! In future I think I can catch this during CI by using npm install . -g rather than npm link.
