Currently, the custom.py in Options('custom.py') was reading from the build directory. If the build directory and the source directory are not the same, the custom.py put in the source directory will not be read.

Is this behavior intensional? opts.Save('opts.cache') also save the options in the build directory.

Bug party triage. The Variables (formerly Options, I changed the summary to match) code is still opening the file by hand rather than using the File() infrastructure (e.g., get_text_contents()). It should be simple fix so mark it +Easy; maybe someone else can do it.
