Which version of py2exe are you using?  If it's 0.4.x, the same code is
used for Python 2.2 and 2.3, so I cann explain the different behaviour
you observe.

But I've seen these IOErrors also.

win32traceutil, when imported as a module, reassigns sys.stdout and
sys.stderr, if I understand the code correctly.  As you say, things
work when you import win32traceutil, and break when you're not.
A simple solution would be to redirect sys.stdout and sys.stderr
yourself, before the possible import of win32traceutil.  Something like
this should work - it simply thows away any output (in some cases it
should be more useful to write to a logfile):

class Null:
    def write(self, msg):
        pass

import sys
sys.stdout = sys.stderr = Null()

import win32traceutil # comment this out when debugging is done
