We've since found a few cases where Python 3.3 pyc files are probably corrupted, so that shoots down my theory about a race condition on reading/writing pyc files, since 3.3 implements atomic-rename and should be immune to that kind of thing.

It's still a mystery though.

Are you able to reproduce the issue? Perhaps you could use inotify to track down file activity. It shouldn't affect timing much and you can track if more than one process it writing to the same file. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/
