It's true, though, that pango is not the only potentially-problematic module we might have here.

We should not really be loading any system-installed GStreamer modules. JHBuild has the following code in environment.py that's presumably supposed to prevent this:

    # GST_PLUGIN_PATH
    gstplugindir = os.path.join(libdir , 'gstreamer-0.10')
    if os.path.exists(gstplugindir):
        addpath('GST_PLUGIN_PATH', gstplugindir)

    # GST_PLUGIN_PATH_1_0
    gstplugindir = os.path.join(libdir , 'gstreamer-1.0')
    if os.path.exists(gstplugindir):
        addpath('GST_PLUGIN_PATH_1_0', gstplugindir)

    # GST_REGISTRY
    gstregistry = os.path.join(prefix, '_jhbuild', 'gstreamer-0.10.registry')
    os.environ['GST_REGISTRY'] = gstregistry

    # GST_REGISTRY_1_0
    gstregistry = os.path.join(prefix, '_jhbuild', 'gstreamer-1.0.registry')
    os.environ['GST_REGISTRY_1_0'] = gstregistry

I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

Another reason to revert r224151, then.
