It's possible that some Python written system service is getting invoked
during the bytecompile-on-installation phase. But now that we've found cases
of this problem with Python 3.3, I'm less inclined to follow that line of
reasoning since it implements atomic rename. Unless there's a flaw in
importlib we haven't identified yet.
