the problematic part is this long path which is not recreated before trying to compile into it:

/home/jtaylor/.config/ipython/cython/home/jtaylor/.config/ipython/cython/

I can still reproduce it with current git head, note that with that commit you have to delete ~/.cache/ipython/cython/

Gotcha, I must have done something wrong in testing. Thanks for checking.

I tracked this down to a bug in distutils, where its mkpath utility will only ever create a particular path once,
and assume that it still exists forever after for the lifetime of the process. I can make a workaround, but it might be gross.

workaround by clearing the distutils mkpath cache,
which prevents it from ever creating a given path more than once.
