I think what's going on here is that the egg-info for setuptools is in the setuptools package, not the pkg-resources package. pkg-resources is refusing to do anything unless it can resolve the requirements of the package in question, which in this case includes setuptools. So even though it has everything it needs on hand, it isn't doing anything. If we're rewriting dependencies from setuptools to pkg-recources, we should ship the setuptools egg-info in pkg-resources.
