I can reproduce this locally; it appears to have something to do with
distutils and symlinks:
If I do:
ln -s /Users/dickinsm/python/svn/release26-maint/python.exe
/Users/dickinsm/Documents/python.exe
and then try to execute the symlink, I get:
newton:~ dickinsm$ ~/Documents/python.exe
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint:83685M, Aug 3 2010, 19:48:56)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
The '-v' output includes:
