Having done this in the past, I've noticed that arch clobbers its
pristine trees if you do a "tla update" to a revision which changes the
tagging method like that.  I presume that if you do the get in a random
empty directory arch won't have a pristine tree cached and is forced to
build it from scratch, so it works; if you do it near where your old
tree was, arch will find and use the messed up ++pristine-trees
directory.  If you get rid of the project tree with the corrupt
pristines you should be fine.

At the time I saw this problem I was using an old version of Arch and
couldn't be bothered verifying if it was present in 1.2-pre or reporting
it to the mailing list; I was also fairly new to Arch and wasn't sure it
was entirely arch's fault rather than mine.  You mentioned that you're
using 1.2pre2 though and saw something similar to what I did, so it
sounds as though that bug still exists.
