I'd be grateful for a link to the prior discussion - it must have passed me by originally, and I searched python-dev on gmane but couldn't find any threads about this.

Yes - in theory the pragmas can give a false idea about coverage, but in practice they help increase the signal-to-noise ratio. As maintainer of a module, one'd only be kidding oneself by adding pragmas willy-nilly. The coverage reports are up-front about telling you how many lines were excluded, both in the summary HTML pages and the drill-downs HTML pages for individual modules. BTW, is there a public place somewhere showing stdlib coverage statistics? I looked on the buildbot pages as the likeliest home for them, but perhaps I missed them.
