As "_tmpdoc/*" is not an absolute path, %doc copies the file(s) from the local build directory and additionally marks them as documentation. Just like  %doc AUTHORS COPYING doc/html README which also copies those files from the local build dir. Techniques like this are in use for a long time, so it's not as if I'm suggesting something that wouldn't work. ;)
