Hi Jim
That is what I am doing now, the problem I see though is when someone upates (via buildout etc.... a) module they need to remember to remove the recreated file before redeploying the app, unfortunately I am not sure I see a way reliable way of specifying that these files should be deleted in any automatic sense. At least an ignore in the app.yaml isn't feasible.
I'm sure there's a way to do it. It will just take some digging. Maybe there's a way to tell setuptools not to do it or maybe there's enough meta data laying around for buildout to undo it. For example, the EGG-INFO/SOURCES.txt has a list of the original files in the distribution, so it should be easy enough to figure out where these extra bogus files are.
