Here are some build logs showing differences between master and
core-updates.

For 2.7.12, on the master branch, there is this:

------
if test "xinstall" != "xno"  ; then \
        case install in \
                upgrade) ensurepip="--upgrade" ;; \
                install|*) ensurepip="" ;; \
        esac; \
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/guix-build-python-minimal-2.7.12.drv-0/Python-2.7.12 ./python -E -m ensurepip \
                $ensurepip --root=/ ; \
fi
Ignoring ensurepip failure: pip 8.1.1 requires SSL/TLS
phase `install' succeeded after 31.5 seconds
------

I guess we didn't notice the lack of TLS support because the bundled pip
is never able to reach the internet when used to build packages.

For 2.7.13 without zlib, on core-updates, it does this:

------
if test "xinstall" != "xno"  ; then \
        case install in \
                upgrade) ensurepip="--upgrade" ;; \
                install|*) ensurepip="" ;; \
        esac; \
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/guix-build-python-minimal-2.7.13.drv-0/Python-2.7.13 ./python -E -m ensurepip \
                $ensurepip --root=/ ; \
fi

If you build 2.7.13 with zlib on core-updates (log not *not* attached):
