IronPython can now use setuptools with more confidence. One more step in
the general usefulness and acceptance of this implementation.
I encourage members of the IronPython community to let a development team
know when IronPython has a problem with their product. Very often, as in
this case, there will be a very positive response. Note that they did not
use my patch -- they made a better one. Thanks are in order.

I've taken the suggestion to "fail gracefully" a step further and decided
instead to allow the install to proceed in environments where a call stack
is not available, issuing a warning instead.
I believe this approach is suitable as (a) bdist_* commands are less
frequently run and certainly less relied upon for the basic usage
(installing setuptools), (b) a warning is issued in the case where this
behavior might be problemmatic.
The value in allowing setuptools to install on IronPython outweighs any
issue this might raise running bdist_* commands on other non-CPython
environments.
