Oh, according to my install log I had the same problem; I was fooled
by the fact that sage started up fine.  But now I think I have a
solution:

I got curious about what PIL is, and while googling I came across this
nice page

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html

which lists a lot (maybe all?) of the environment variables sage
listens to; there are two for PIL, one disabling TK and the other
telling PIL to use sage's version of some libraries, instead of system
defaults.  I tried them both, and sage seemed to finish building fine.
. . . and now it has finished ptestlong, passing all tests :)
