No, the same thing does not happen.  rc2 works like beta2 did.
The only thing I changed was the tarball to be downloaded.  *honest*

Here's what I do:
  /usr/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local/stow/ipython-0.7.3b3/
  head -2 ipython.py 
  #!/usr/bin/env python
  # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

fine though ...

BTW, thanks for all your work on ipython.
