It was a mis-interaction with the name-guessing heuristics in build-program.

build-program (the main build script) tries to guess the layout of the
sources that are presented to it. For example, many tarballs untar to
programname-1.2.3/<lots of files>
From this it can work out what the package name is, and set the AB_PACKAGES
variable to it.

Likewise SVN trees often are trunk/<files> - where it can't guess the
package name so needs telling via explicitly setting the AB_PACKAGES
variable in support/native-tokenize/preprocess

In your case, your website sources weren't in a directory inside the zip.
So I had to tell build-program to look for the toplevel directory
native-tokenize and treat this as if it had been the parent directory inside
the zip. That's why I also set AB_FULLNAME in the 'preprocess' script, to
override the heuristic for the directory layout. I also set AB_PACKAGES to
set the package name.

When you switched to SVN, the layout was different - it was looking for
native-tokenize/<files> but instead found native-tokenize/trunk/<files> and
got confused.

I've just checked in r6596 that should fix this - it removes the AB_FULLNAME
flag and the normal SVN heuristic works fine. It seems to build happily now.
