I have noticed this also. If you run a 'pip install .' in the git checked out directory it doesn't work...but if you run 'python setup.py install' it does work. It happens at. Low level as I put debug statements in setuptools, distribute, and pbr. And dist itself finds no packages with 'has_pure_python'. And indeed it finds no packages in general. I'll perform more debugging. This is high on my list because I want the other machinery provided by pbr.
