Other things that come to mind are to see if there is anything odd about the buildbot’s Linux kernel and glibc versions. Maybe run the Python script under “strace” to see if anything strange is going on.

I did that, and a few other things. Most notably, commenting out the partial-read resulted in a flawless run, and strace showed it stalling in the partial read too.

However, as I was doing so (and I just discarded a draft message where I'd been typing up notes), my entire system went kerblooie, and I've spent the last day rebuilding stuff from scratch. When I get around to it, I'll rebuild the buildbot VM - and it'll be Debian Jessie (current stable), because there's no particular reason to use Wheezy (oldstable). So the problem will almost certainly disappear.
