Following tutorial3 in fresh working dircetory, changing the -p lxde to -p gnome and adding -d wheezy and building resolved my issues.
Thank you for the reminder that sid can be unstable and the pointer that lb clean might not remove the taint of sid prior to w wheezy build. I apologize for suspecting debian-live as my root cause rather than sid proper. You were correct that when I built against wheezy I did so against a directory tainted with sid. I believe that I did use auto per tutorial3 where I copied the sample scripts from /usr/share/live/build/examples/auto/* to my working directory; however, I did not check to see if the clean script was executable.
