Just to confirm my theory about this, I modified setuptools.sandbox.run_setup to also save off and restore pkg_resources.working_set.{entries,entry_keys,by_key}.

It would also still be nice to find a workaround until and unless this gets patched.
That's necessary, but I don't think it's sufficient. The changes I did to fix this in 2009 save other aspects of pkg_resources state besides just those, and I don't think it's something you can fix by monkeypatching.
(I could be wrong, of course, but given that setuptools was already been fixed, I'm not that motivated to investigate more deeply.)
