I found what was whacked: There was an error in gtk-osx-python.modules and jhbuild has this weird fallback mechanism where instead of reporting an error it tries to load the same moduleset from the jhbuild source directory (~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets), first stripped to the "file part" which sort-of makes sense but then with the whole URI as a filename, which doesn't at all. That of course fails and it's the error that gets reported, which isn't very helpful. My primary user id had an old version of gtk-osx-python.modules in the jhbuild sources so the problem wouldn't reproduce until I re-ran gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, which replaced it with the one in git.
