Ok, well let us know when you've had enough :). Meanwhile I'll learn 
what I can about the process. The video 
<https://youtu.be/dXR4pJ_zS-0?t=300> suggests that when it fails there's 
quite a lot of evidence where the bundle contents are defective.

An old ./maven/build.xml is worth trying. I'm confident the current main 
./build.xml delivers the right things. The safeguards are all in the 
main one (that stop you labeling what you build as a release if it 
didn't come from a clean and tagged state).

Yes please! We have to encapsulate all this magic in the scripts or the 
instructions.
