I think I'm the one who initially reported this on the IRC channel.

This bug is a problem for me because of bug #331342. Since 32-bit binaries run out of memory when migrating my big SVN repos, i tried to build 64-bit ones from source. That failed because of missing zlib, so I tried to use --allow-python-fallback, but THAT failed due to this issue. If only this option worked, I could probably build my own 64-bit native binaries and work around the memory limitations that are preventing me from migrating my SVN repos.
