I run SCons direct from the Mercurial repository using the bootstrap.py
module. This avoids the install phase and I think gets round your
problem?

I have the Debian Unstable SCons installed via the package to give me a
backup version know to work and then do not install any other version
just use the bootstrap. This allows me to have 3 or 4 different versions
of SCons available and all usable as is without any problems of
cross-coupling. 

Might this way of working help you here?
