Another data point : to solve another problem, I recompiled Sage from a pristine git clone ... and got the same error as William did. Simply importing the conway_polynomials tarball from the upstream directory of another Sage tree in the "pristine" upstream allowed to recompile ( make distclean &&make ) a Sage that passes ptestlong with no errors.
It seems that the build system can build conway_polynomials, but fails to download it if not present, and (worse), fails *silently* : it does not report its absence at software-compilation time, but only at doc-compilation time.
