Yes, the https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3 definitely sounds like my issue. Seems there is some concern over the nspkg.pth there as well. It seems taht the nspkg.pth is a fine idea to replace the install of the __init__.py, but that it just doesn't work to fully extend the locations in which a namespace can reside.
Either way, there a few other workarounds posted there as well, I will check them out to see if any of them are more palatable than the one I posted here.
