This section of jhbuildrc-gtk-osx (which gets installed as .jhbuildrc) applies:
    #Defining ARCHFLAGS globally messes up waf, so we need to define
    #it here for our two perl modules:
    if architectures != ['ppc']:
        module_extra_env.update(
            {"perl-xml-simple":{"ARCHFLAGS":"-arch i386 -arch x86_64"},
             "perl-xml-parser":{"ARCHFLAGS":"-arch i386 -arch x86_64"}})
I wrote that not thinking about universal builds. Try changing the condition to 
    if not "ppc" in architectures:

But even better would be to construct ARCHFLAGS with something like "-arch " + "-arch ".join(architectures).

That said, universal builds aren't really supported. You'll likely have to patch the universal modulesets and setup_universal() in jhbuildrc-gtk-osx to get everything working. If you succeed, please do provide your patches.
