Okay, I figured out why I can't reproduce this; when working from the CVS 
version you need to use "setup.py develop" or "setup.py install" or even 
"setup.py egg_info" or "setup.py test" in order to *build& setuptools 
before attempting to use it. Otherwise you don't have a PKG-INFO file, and 
thus don't have a valid egg yet.

I'll have to update the documentation to reflect that necessary step.
