My guess is that -tt triggered a SyntaxError (maybe we should create an
IndentationError that is a subclass of SyntaxError?) the .pyc file didn't
get generated, but the exception was caught by regrtest and execution
continued. That would have caused any test that tried to import the
tab-challenged file(s) to fail, right? Would that have been sufficient to
provoke the symptoms we saw?
