Changing the pyc magic isn't required here. Some files were compiled to
bytecode with the wrong flags because I didn't initialize the flags
correctly. I (ab)used a temporary change of the magic to force a
recompilation of bytecode. All build bots are fine again.

I usually don't test the new code with a non-debug build unless a
release is immanent. A full test run already takes a considerable amount
of time (>10 minutes) and debug builds usually catch more errors than
plain builds. I've to draw the line somewhere ...
