So here's a thought:

pip does have a CLI flag --force-reinstall which will uninstall and then reinstall whatever is being installed. If we modified things so that ensurepip supported this flag (or always used it with --upgrade) then it would fix this issue. The downside here is that only works with --upgrade.
