OK, so it seems I misunderstood all this. Oops.

So, for those people who will inevitably stumble upon this bug like I did:

It looks like tar changed, which caused that Debian dpkg bug, which was then fixed. But Python sets a custom SIGPIPE hander, which breaks the fix when calling dpkg-source using subprocess. See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/2009-07-02-python-sigpipe.html for details of how to work around that.
