For extra data I reran this on a builder where it failed. This time it
worked out ok. I can think of two different things we could try:

a) Add some debug to the code so that when a unknown user error occurs,
it triggers a mention of the filename with the issue

b) Potentially try turning off any parallel install code for python.
I'm starting to wonder if that is racing somehow over file ownership.
Making it single thread may make the issue appear (or it may
disappear).

Cheers,

Richard
