If I run the test on Python 2, I don't get the error, and on line 93, brdicts is a dict.
However, if I run the test on Python 3, brdicts is a Deferred, thus the error.

This really ought to be impossible.  If I were seeing this, single-stepping through inlineCallbacks in pudb would probably be my next step.  Have you made any attempts to simplify it down to remove some of the buildbot-specific code?

I did some more debugging.  The callstack is quite deep. :/
I used this command to trigger the error:

trial  buildbot.test.unit.test_process_buildrequestdistributor.TestMaybeStartBuilds.test_slow_db

I found in this function in buildbot's BuildRequestsEndpoint.get() function ( https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/buildbot/data/buildrequests.py#L146 ) there is this line:

        defer.returnValue(
            [(yield self.db2data(br)) for br in buildrequests])

On Python 2, this line returns:
  an object list
  each list entry is a dictionary of name/value pairs that looks like:

[{'buildrequestid': 10, 'complete': False, 'waited_for': False, 'claimed_at': None, 'results': -1, 'claimed': False, 'buildsetid': 11, 'complete_at': None, 'submitted_at': datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 2, 12, 6, 40, tzinfo=tzutc()), 'builderid': 77, 'claimed_by_masterid': None, 'priority': 0}, {'buildrequestid': 11, 'complete': False, 'waited_for': False, 'claimed_at': None, 'results': -1, 'claimed': False, 'buildsetid': 11, 'complete_at': None, 'submitted_at': datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 2, 13, 30, tzinfo=tzutc()), 'builderid': 77, 'claimed_by_masterid': None, 'priority': 0}]


On Python 3, this returns:
  an object <generator object BuildRequestsEndpoint.get.<locals>.<listcomp>
  of type <class 'generator'>


Yep.

On Python 2, [(yield self.db2data(br)) for br in buildrequests] is a list comprehension.  It will have len(buildrequests) elements and each will be the value sent back in to the generator via the yield expression.

On Python 3, the same expression is a list of one element which is a generator expression.

This form is much clearer, I think, and behaves as intended on both versions of Python:

    results = []
    for br in buildrequests:
        results.append((yield self.db2data(br)))
    defer.returnValue(results)
