I can reproduce this issue with setuptools 0.6c11 and (0.6 branch)
trunk and Distribute in a virtualenv under 2.6, so this is definitely
an existing bug in all versions. It's looping on one dependency and I
don't know why yet, it's quite hard to debug and understand.
The fix that was done some time ago to keep the working env state is
not working for that case. I will continue to look for the problem in
the upcoming days.

I found the bug: every time a dependency is to be installed it's recursively uncompressed in the previous tmp directory. So after a while, you get dead long paths and get your bug.
Working on a fix tonite.
Thanks Tarek,
Jon.
