Okay, I guessed wrong!

They are designed to be one for the system python and one for the  
latest major release from python.org.

So on Snow leopard that is two versions of 2.6.x, but I also plan to  
potentially offer more for Snow leopard, maybe python.org 2.7/3.1  
versions in the future.

Great, I think the problem is a known bug with just the snow leopard  
installers where only one of the python 26 versions can be installed  
at once, and QGIS probably was having trouble finding the "Library" or  
python.org one due to the lack of the python.org installer setting up  
the PYTHONPATH variables correctly...
