Because I screwed up and put the line about module_extra_env in too early. Fixed now, you’ll need to run 
gtk-osx-build-setup.sh again.

I also dealt with the problem that “native” doesn’t work on Mavericks because it doesn’t provide 
/usr/include. You have to specify an SDK, so I added that specification in jhbuildrc.

Thanks for the clue-bat.
