Hmmm, I think in the future if something odd with SAGE_LOCAL is
detected we should just exit Sage and complain since this has caused
so much trouble. The documentation somewhere also recommends setting
SAGE_ROOT to an absolute path in the sage script which I consider a
bad, bad thing since these days symbolic linking sage works perfectly.
It didn't pre-Sage 3.0 or so.
