I tried immediately cloning and then building with your exact settings (--git-dist=jessie --git-arch=i386 --git-pbuilder -uc -us) on a newly created jessie-i386 cowbuilder base and it finished fine for me. Indeed it would be really useful to know what the differences are.
Did you try the above directly after cloning or did you start a different build before which then was aborted or failed? Could it be that, for example, there are still patches from a previous build applied to the source? Try ‘quilt pop -a’ before rebuilding to make sure all patches are removed.
