 I've found the reason: I use ZFS.
 
 The error message is produced by the shutil.copystat function.
 
 #cat /usr/local/lib/python2.6/shutil.py
 ...
 def copystat(src, dst):
     """Copy all stat info (mode bits, atime, mtime, flags) from src to dst"""
     st = os.stat(src)
     mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode)
     if hasattr(os, 'utime'):
         os.utime(dst, (st.st_atime, st.st_mtime))
     if hasattr(os, 'chmod'):
         os.chmod(dst, mode)
     if hasattr(os, 'chflags') and hasattr(st, 'st_flags'):
         os.chflags(dst, st.st_flags)
 ...
 
 FreeBSD has flags, but ZFS where /usr/local resides doesn't support them.
 
 It may be related to one of the recent update to the code ZFS - at
 some point mv started to give messages like
 
 # rm -f /var/tmp/t ; touch /tmp/t ; mv /tmp/t /var/tmp
 mv: /var/tmp/t: set flags (was: 00000000): Invalid argument
