Looking at qt_staging.inc:

     for i in libQtAssistantClient${QT_LIBINFIX} \
		libQtDesignerComponents${QT_LIBINFIX} \
		libQtUiTools${QT_LIBINFIX} \
		libQtDesigner${QT_LIBINFIX}
     do
         sed -i -e "s,-L${libdir},-L${STAGING_LIBDIR},g" $i.prl || true
         cp ${STAGE_TEMP}/${libdir}/$i.prl ${STAGING_LIBDIR} || true
         sed -i -e 
"/^dependency_libs=/s,-L${libdir},-L${STAGING_LIBDIR},g" $i.la || true
         cp ${STAGE_TEMP}/${libdir}/$i.la  ${STAGING_LIBDIR} || true
         oe_libinstall -C ${STAGE_TEMP}/${libdir} -so $i 
${STAGING_LIBDIR} || true
         oe_libinstall -C ${STAGE_TEMP}/${libdir} -a $i 
${STAGING_LIBDIR} || true
     done

So it attempts to install to .so (oe_libinstall -so) and the .a 
(oe_libinstall -a) to the staging dir.

If you're building qt/e you should link against QtUiTools${QT_LIBINFIX} 
(expands to QtUiToolsE in your case), not QtUiTools. AIUI 'inherit 
qtopia4core' should take care of all that for you.
