FWIW, I'm seeing this sort of error in the Plone 4.0 nightlies with Zope 
2.12.16.

A bit late to the conversation, but I just wanted to chime in with the  
others. Thank you for all of your hard work. I've only been the Plone  
release manager for just under a year and I can't begin to imagine  
doing this for 6 more.

For what it's worth, that'd be perfect timing for Plone 4. I'm hoping  
to put out a first alpha right after the conference and we'll need  
2.12.1 to do so.
