Just for the record, when I built Python 2.6 from source I got the latter output (the desired result). If someone can point me to instructions I'm willing to try to make a binary installer and make it available (though I'd much prefer to debug the standard installer).

I suspect Ronald will be fixing this in the standard installer soon.
