Turns out coverage is installed in an odd (?) way:

ned@ned-precise:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/coverage$ ls -l
total 212
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    47 Apr 23  2012 annotate.py -> ../../../../share/pyshared/coverage/annotate.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3198 Nov 22 21:16 annotate.pyc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    47 Apr 23  2012 backward.py -> ../../../../share/pyshared/coverage/backward.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1590 Nov 22 21:16 backward.pyc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    47 Apr 23  2012 bytecode.py -> ../../../../share/pyshared/coverage/bytecode.py

This is fixed in <<changeset aae421baacfb28d240010c7ae7341698c0559b8a (bb)>>.
