I was thrown by the "Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules" message at the end of newer Python builds, and thought that this indicated that the Python executable itself was not built. That's arguably stupidity on my part, but I wonder if others will not trip on this, too.

Would it be possible to change this wording slightly, to something like Python built, but failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules ?

Sounds reasonable to me. Can you file a bug report at bugs.python.org, Mike, so this doesn't get lost?
