 I was able to duplicate the problem with mate-utils: it seems it may be
 isolated to itstool using Python 2.7. (In one of my test environments,
 I was using Python 3.6 by default. That was where I couldn't duplicate
 the issue, and still can't. Since 2.7 is the default, we would be
 hitting this in bulk builds and stock user installations.) I haven't
 had time to analyze the issue further.
