A pending release will omit the bundled third-party code entirely from the
Python distribution.

Unfortunately that list doesn't show which files are symlinks; we create
symlinks to the system-installed library files because the code currently
requires them at that location.

Inspecting the package contents:

    <URL:http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/python-coverage/download>
    <URL:http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/python-coverage/download>

confirms you're right, the bundled libraries are omitted for the “amd64”
package but incorrectly installed for the “i386” package.

Thanks for reporting this bug.
