Thanks, Glyph. In that case maybe the Python subprocess docs need not single out SystemRoot, but instead plaster a big warning around the use of the 'env' parameter.

I agree.  I'm glad that my bitter experience here might be useful to someone in the future - all those late nights trying desperately to get my unit tests to run on some newly configured, slightly weird buildbot didn't go to waste :).

Ok, I'll open a ticket on the bugtracker for this over the weekend.
