In this case prefixification IS using your %Config settings and not its
own defaults.  Check what $Config{instalsitearch} is set to.  I'll bet
its C:\Perl\lib in which case prefixification is working normally.

This is all a wonderful illustration of why prefixification is so FUCKED UP
from a user perspective.  You never know what you're going to get.
