I use powerline for tmux on Ubuntu with source /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf in my tmux.conf. However, each time I start a new tmux server, I have to run source-file ~/.tmux.conf or just tpm install again to get powerline to show up.

Does it work if you start `tmux` with `-f ~/.tmux.conf`? That may help to isolate the issue. – David Foerster Jul 12 '16 at 15:54

no. It's properly sourcing my .tmux.conf, since everything else works fine (tmux resurrect, etc.) – rump roast Jul 12 '16 at 16:39

Wait, are you using powerline from tpm?
Looking at the path you are sourcing it's powerline.conf think you are using the official powerline but your information about tpm makes me doubt it because i don't think the current powerline has anything to do with tpm.
With that being said, in your ~/.tmux.conf do you have this run-shell "powerline-daemon -q" before the this line --> source /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf?
Make sure to read the docs more though, I had lots of troubles getting tmux to work with powerline but powerline documentation is super! Just get in touch with it.
