Right, so the linux boxes are 32-bit as I suspected:

$ file /usr/local/bin/python2.6
/usr/local/bin/python2.6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared 
libs), not stripped

$ file /usr/local/bin/python2.6
/usr/local/bin/python2.6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, 
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 
2.6.8, not stripped

Sadly not:

$ file /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6: Mach-O 
universal binary with 2 architectures
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6 (for 
architecture ppc):	Mach-O executable ppc
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6 (for 
architecture i386):	Mach-O executable i386

Nonetheless, why would a .zexp on a 32-bit architecture and import on 
64-bit cause sudden crash death when viewing /manage_main of a an 
imported folder containing Page Templates?!

Still in "wtf?!" mode...
