Comment(by warner):

 I see no code to perform caching in Twisted
 (twisted.python.procutils.which) or in buildbot.

 Now, if darcs was the only thing in your stow environment, then
 /usr/local/bin itself would be a symlink to /usr/local/stow/blabblah/bin,
 and then you could get tripped up by some bit of code which abspath'ed
 everything in {{{os.environ["PATH"]}}} at process launch time. If that
 were happening, then unstowing darcs wouldn't be enough to get
 /usr/local/stow/blahblah/bin off your PATH, and if darcs were still there,
 it would try to run it (instead of trying to run /usr/bin/darcs or
 whatever).

 But that neither explains the problem you're seeing nor sounds very
 likely.
