If I have some reason to set MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET=10.4 for compilation (say I'm compiling an extension that requires 10.4 features) then I'm going to have some serious problems with this fix.

I was going to do that, but then I thought it didn't make any sense, because this script is only used in the context of Apple-provided Python 2.3. And setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to anything other than 10.3 (be it lower or higher) while compiling an extension for Apple's 2.3 is going to produce disappointing results anyway.

But, if I've missed a use case, please enlighten me.
