I fixed it on my machine, and a fix was also committed to the svn repo. However, I think there was no new bdist_mpkg release on pypi (I did get a "why don't you just use eggs instead?") and the 1.5.1 binaries were not made on my machine.

But unless you have a specific need/desire to use 3.1/3.2 I'd suggest staying with 2.6 or 2.7 from python.org for now. With Activestate you have to compile yourself or use their (paid?) pypm repo.
