I think this is a bug in virtualenv:

$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 test
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/pabs/test/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/pabs/test/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pkg_resources, pip, wheel...done.
