Yes, I have also seen this with 0.7.6.  I have not been able to nail
it down as precisely as you have.  Hang on a second and I'll try ...

... nope.  I just did "buildbot restart" and then "buildbot reconfig"
four times in a row, and no error.  Of course, I didn't make any
config changes for those reconfig runs ...

... nope.  I just did several "reconfig" runs with an actual
configuration change between each one, and it's still fine.

So: yes, I have seen the same error that you are seeing, but no, not
in the precise circumstances that you describe.
