> 1.5.6-3 doesn't seem to be working over here even on a fresh virtualenv

Works for me:

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
virtualenv ve
. ve/bin/activate
pip install pillow
pip uninstall pillow

$ ./test.sh
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2
New python executable in ve/bin/python2
Not overwriting existing python script ve/bin/python (you must use ve/bin/python2)
Installing setuptools, pip...done.
Downloading/unpacking pillow
  Downloading Pillow-2.6.1.tar.gz (7.3MB): 7.3MB downloaded
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/ve/build/pillow/setup.py) egg_info for package pillow
...
Successfully installed pillow
Cleaning up...
