Okay; I hadn't read Misha's log in that thread carefully before, but
there's something screwy going on in the BBv1 code.  There should be
no const_argument.pyd targets there at all; the only pyds should be
const_argument_ext.pyd.  So I'm trying to track that down now and
hopefully will be able to check in a fix sometime soon.
