So,
 - npm install did nothing
 - make node_modules said everything was fine
 - but npm ls complained about missing marionette-js-runner@*, so I did a npm install against this one and it works now.

I had the same problem on npm 1.4.21.
"make really-clean" did not work for me.

What fixed it for me was installing npm2 and re-running "npm install":
> npm install npm@latest
> PATH=$PWD/node_modules/.bin/:$PATH npm install

(thanks to gerard_majax!)
