I agree that $HOME/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages gets automatically added to sys.path if it exists:

But the big issue is that IPython/Extensions ends up *after* .local/lib/python2.6/site-packages. So its no surprise that your ipython breaks sage's ipython. Can you create a trac ticket for this issue? Then we can work there on getting the path order right.
