setuptools upgrade breaks funcsigs test runner

Originally reported by: FRidh (Bitbucket: FRidh, GitHub: FRidh)

I'm testing on Nix to update from setuptools 19.4 to the latest 20.0.
This seems to break funcsigs test runner (with CPython 2.7 and PyPy, not CPython 3.x).

I don't know whether this is a setuptools or funcsigs issue, but since it broke due to a setuptools upgrade I'm posting it here.

Wheels version is 0.29.0 and pip 8.0.2

Reproduce the failure with setuptools 20.0 using funcsigs on CPython 2.7 or PyPy, starting at setup.py's test_suite setting and setuptools/command/test.py. Compare the unittest2 collector errors and the CPython 3.x behavior; done means the affected test runner discovers and executes its tests again.
