Oh, my, it turns out that django includes:

# This is a copy of the Python logging.config.dictconfig module,                                    
# reproduced with permission. It is provided here for backwards                                     
# compatibility for Python versions prior to 2.7. 

Comparing the django copy to lib/logging/config.py from Python 2.7.2, 
they're not identical.  It's likely they grabbed something earlier in 
the 2.7 series.  I'll check 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 to see.

I'll need to dig deeper.  Not that I realize this may not be a Python 
issue per-se, I'll do some more experimentation and ask on the django 
mailing list.  Thanks for your help.
