That is weird. flatpak-builder shouldn't normally remove .pyc files. It
does however have special handling of them, because the pyc files have
a built-in timestamp that has to match the *.py file, and since flatpak
uses ostree, and ostree stores all files with a special timestamp, we
need to update the timestamp in the *.pyc file.

We do however remove the pyc file if the timestamp of it doesn't match
the expected timestamp for the py file. Maybe this is what is
happening. Do you have the full build log?
