Now that I think about it - remember that the Jenkins builds use a source 
distribution to build, not a plain checkout. Maybe there's something wrong 
with the sdist? At least, I see several warnings about file patterns in 
MANIFEST.in that are not matched by any files:

"""

Also note that the build appears to choke on test utility code:

"""

Mark, didn't you disable the loading of any test code during 'normal' 
builds? Maybe there's something broken on that front?
