(1) This may be unrelated to your problem, but I have *not* added support for using a virtualenv without --no-site-packages, and AFAIK it was never supported. It looks like you are not using --no-site-packages in your virtualenv, so I don't support that. (2) It looks like you are using an old bootstrap. In addition to using the code from the svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/gary-betafix/ branch (I guess you made your own release?), you also need to make sure you are using the bootstrap if you want to use the new feature without virtualenv. That said, the old bootstrap should still work with virtualenv + the new release, and if it doesn't that's a reasonable backwards-compatibility bug. I'll look into that later to see if that's the case.
