I've built Qt 5.3.2 with the following options here on Windows with MSVC 2010:
-opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests
Pretty much default. I didn't install it.
Afterwards qbs setup-qt with path to the freshly built qmake.
Then I've checked whether the designer-private module exists and if I can build a project that depends on designercomponents. Both worked fine.
It was Qt 5.3.2 from the source package, right?
What were your configure options exactly?

For every Qt module a pri file is generated in Qt's build dir and installed to the install dir.
For example there is qtbase\mkspecs\modules\qt_lib_widgets.pri
It contains information how to use this module.
Qbs setup-qt reads these files to setup the profiles.
The error message you posted looks like the pri file corresponding to the designer-private module is missing.

I agree. This should not happen.
