After a couple of days of rumination, it all became clear. Python is off the hook, instead, I am being hit with a fakeroot bug, characterised here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381016 , and with trivial repo steps here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446351 . Once I knew what the problem was, I found the bug reports and fixes immediately. The real problem is that fakeroot on Fedora is not up to date - even on F9. I will follow that up in a separate email :-) So if you are using fakeroot on a Fedora machine, you have a nasty race condition right there in the saving of the state file.
