If instead I run `jhbuild --module-set=/Users/bhv/dev/gramps-mac/gramps.modules build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap`, following the Gramps directions (which is the specific program I'm installing this to use), I get the same error, except that it only gets 305b instead 6063b.

Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed the modulesets in git. As long as you're using remote references (which is what Gramps is set up to do), it should work now. You'll have to re-start jhbuild to retrieve the updated modulesest.
