It may be possible to test newer package versions in patchbot without official ticket by forking Sage on github, installing the package in the local Sage, publish the changed branch on github, and use that branch as base_repo with patchbot. This may work also with unsafe tickets because the cloning into /tmp copies upstream/ too. I'm testing that soon.
If this doesn't work then my fork of patchbot soon will have a version with a --keep-tmp option that doesn't delete failed installs in /tmp so that the setuptools problem can be postmortemed.
