Ok, I've installed 2.2.3 and verified the behaviour you observed.
And I have a workaround:

run the setup script with these options, and the test_c14n.py script
works as executable:

python py2exe --packages encodings --force-imports encodings

(I had nearly forgotten the force-imports option, and I still don't
remember exactly what it does :-)
