My guess would be that something is setting permissions for the current user, and these installs were done by an admin user who is not the current user. This will result in explicit permissions on the file that may deny read access.
I'll have to confirm tomorrow. Do you have the exact versions of setuptools and pip that are problematic? (My guess is that it won't matter. The code has probably been in there for a while if I'm right.)

Does anyone have any insight? Is this actually a bug? Are we just using pkg_resources incorrectly?
