Okay, the Tahoe setup.py now has a couple of work-arounds for this issue
on two platforms:

http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/setup.py?rev=20080924174255-80e44-63903e9efb0c9b8a6f58cedfbc96ecb6f352837a#L15

15      basedir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
16      pyver = "python%d.%d" % (sys.version_info[:2])
17      if sys.platform == "win32":
18          supportlib = os.path.join("support", "Lib", "site-packages")
19      else:
20          supportlib = os.path.join("support", "lib", pyver, "site-packages")
21      supportlib = os.path.join(basedir, supportlib)

Presumably we'll add similar kludges when this problem crops up on other
platforms.  :-/
