This is actually expected behavior: if the ZClass itself is broken, Zope can't even figure out what class ID it was supplying. ZClasses break when the base classes disappear. At that point, there's no way to unregister from ZGlobals. This is a Hard Problem. At the moment the only way I see fixing it is a big change to ZClasses.
