Folks in another group cite this as a bug.  I've filed it with
bugzilla... apparently the python extension tests don't account for
the BUILD_ID (which was previously globally defined, but maybe isn't
now?  I don't totally understand, but the guy I spoke with seemed
pretty confident.

I think the mixed checkout option is a good one.  I need the trunk for
fixes to certain bugs in the main core, but for the python extensions,
I can settle for an older stable build.  I'll try that now, I suppose.
 add-ac-options --disable-tests doesn't cut off that particular test,
which is disappointing, because I expect that it would fix my issue if
it did
