Argh.  I know what's happening now.  The older version of setuptools is 
already imported when the setup script runs, so it regenerates the 
entry_points.txt from the already-installed setuptools, thereby breaking 
the new setuptools.  :(

I'll start work on fixing that.

Hm.  Do you mean the "correct svn checkout" still has this problem?
