Hmm, just a guess (I haven't tried it out). Maybe it's working for Tim because he has a hierarchy of projects. I have a big project that is subdivided into (sub)projects. As a result, the build directory of a sub-project is a subdirectory of the build directory of the top-level project. When I go to the build directory of a given sub-project and issue 'make clean', only the files for that sub-project are deleted, not those of its parent project. So, maybe this only works if you've divided your (big) project into sub-projects.
