When I've encountered that in the past it's been because Python was too old: Jhbuild's tarball.py uses a function that's only available in Python 2.5. While jhbuild bootstrap will install a new Python for you on Tiger (which comes with Python 2.3), the new version isn't used to run jhbuild itself

turns out that this was not the issue. basically, even my jhbuild was
too old to get this right. a new build is underway, but its now died
claiming that we need m4 1.4 or later, and i have 1.4.13 ... sigh.
digging in.

Having installed the new jhbuild, did you run jhbuild bootstrap? Remember that jhbuild sets the path to find its own stuff first.
