I wasn't able to reproduce this in a clean virtualenv. Could you try the git invocations without -q to see what went wrong?

[crosenth]

We're having firewall issues here, sorry. I switched the dev branch to download the html module using port 443.

I also changed to https on the master branch because, apparently, pip inits all submodules before it checks out the correct branch.
