Sorry, I was wrong.  It apparently does *not* work for me either :( 
This is a bug in distutils/bdist_wininst - I just created 
http://bugs.python.org/issue12200 with the details and your samples, and 
sadly I can't think of a work around you can use until this is fixed 
(which I might get to soon, but not this weekend...)

Cheers,

Mark
