Mysterious...

If you are in hack mode you could try patching that file with the 2.7
egg name and md5
Both of them here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

ie after this line
'setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg': 'bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086',

add this line
'setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg': 'fe1f997bc722265116870bc7919059ea',

However it maybe a better idea to ask on the distutils mailing list
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/

[And let us know how/what happened!]
