Note that you can now also use makepkg to list the names of the packages that it would generate, using the --packagelist flag.
I am going to use that as a workaround but even after splitting apart the components (pkgname, pkgver, arch) and making sure that the name matches, it will require assumptions about the package archive extension (or sourcing of makepkg.conf, but that requires knowledge of which makepkg.conf was used to be rigorous). Nothing comes close to the cleanliness of the --pkg option.
Incidentally, that option was also useful to avoid storing unwanted packages at PKGDEST.
Implementing the workaround right now I've noticed that another issue with the separate invocation of pacman -U is that any dependencies installed via "makepkg -rs" are removed and then re-installed during installation with pacman, while omitting "-r" will leave makedeps.
