As mentioned earlier, it seems the issue is because there is no entry in the manifest from which the various Python 3 modules are created (https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3/python3-manifest.json).

Ah, right.

In that case:

$ oe-pkgdata-util find-path */*venv*py
python3-tests: /usr/lib/python3.5/test/test_venv.py
python3-misc: /usr/lib/python3.5/venv/__main__.py
python3-misc: /usr/lib/python3.5/venv/__init__.py

The files are in the python3-misc package, which is the fallback for
everything which isn't explicitly put into another package.  I'd say
the best fix for this would be to edit the manifest so the venv module
goes into the python3-pyvenv package too.
