Okay the patch has been worked over in the bundled fork of setuptools that Tahoe-LAFS uses ("zetuptoolz"), and applying the patch made the build go from red to green on many different platforms and did not introduce a regression from green to red on any builder. It has now gone into Tahoe-LAFS trunk and will be released in Tahoe-LAFS v1.8.1 soon.
