Still, perhaps it's wise to wipe the checkout every so often?

I think it is. And while I haven't seen this under MS VC7.1 yet, a few times I caught VC 6.0 failing to recompile after a relevant header file changed. Certainly from-scratch checkout + build should be done before a release.

I would like to do this in buildbot, but I'm not sure how to (i.e. wipe the build occasionally, but not every time).

For example, I could imagine completely cleaning the build directory every time the build number % 10 == 0. Still, what the precise buildbot incantation would be, I don't know.

Regards, Martin
