If I do a 'jhbuild build python' (as described on the build web page) then it uses the python lib provided by jhbuild and libxml2 compiles. But this does not seem to be described properly on the build web page (where it says you only need to 'jhbuild build python' when compiling on Tiger for the purpose of extracting archives).  Or maybe I misunderstood that part.

You did misunderstand. Jhbuild itself needs python 2.5 or later, so you must build python before meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap.
