Roughly speaking the cases that happens to (re-)generate caches at the runtime are: 1) when there are no caches in the cache directory. 2) when new fonts are available. Try to run your script with FC_DEBUG=384. that gives you a clue if fontconfig really is trying to generate caches at the runtime. if you see some logs with py2exe thing only, it might breaks something.
