A bit more playing around suggests that removing the old 
ipython before installing the new one sometimes makes the 
error go away.  Depending, I think, on whether the removal 
was clean, if it leaves any old files behind I think that 
triggers the problems.

Anyway, I know how to fix it now, many thanks.
