At this point, I would expect rospack find ompl to return ~/ompl-ws/src/ompl, but it does not. That's because the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH hasn't been updated.
ompl isn't a ROS package, and therefore does not directly or indirectly depend on or find_package roslib which is the package which sets the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.
The setup.*sh files are normally generated by each catkin package, but since ompl doesn't find_package catkin and doesn't call catkin_package in its CMake, it doesn't generate any setup.*sh files. So, catkin_make_isolated places basic setup.*sh files on behalf of the package.
A reasonably simple workaround is to clone a copy of catkin into the workspace with ompl. This is quick and it will ensure that setup.*sh are generated by catkin_make* commands.
