It's not ready to be made public yet, but I put together the following
example:

  % cat test.cabal
  Name          : test
  Version       : 0.0.0
  License       : GPL
  Author        : Magnus Therning
  Maintainer    : magnus at therning.org
  Copyright     : Magnus Therning, 2009
  Build-Type    : Simple
  Cabal-Version : >= 1.2

  Executable test
      Main-Is        : Main.hs
      Build-Depends  : base >= 4.2.0 && < 4.3
  % cat Setup.hs
  #! /usr/bin/env runhaskell

  import Distribution.Simple

  main = defaultMainWithHooks $ simpleUserHooks
      { cleanHook = profileClean
      }

  profileClean pd v uh cf = do
      (cleanHook simpleUserHooks) pd v uh cf
      putStrLn "** in hook"
  % ./Setup.hs configure
  Configuring test-0.0.0...
  % ./Setup.hs clean
  cleaning...
  ** in hook

Could it be a difference in versions?

  % ghc --version
  The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.1
  % ghc-pkg list | grep Cabal
      Cabal-1.8.0.2

/M
