This is actually normal. See the end of http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/Sessions.stx ("Conflict Errors") for a short explanation.
Conflict errors are certainly normal, but IIUC the OP is seeing site errors, not just log msgs. The text referenced also says:
The requests which experience conflict errors will be retried automatically by Zope, and the end user should never see one.
I'm not clear on why it says that, since Zope gives up after a few tries (i.e., "never" seems an awfully strong promise, right?).
This is true. I misunderstood the OP inasmuch as I thought he was seeing the error message in his event log, which would be normal It is certainly the intent that end users should never see this error message in a browser, but it's not a promise as it depends how the developer's code is written. Zope will retry a request three times due to conflict errors before it gives up and presents the conflict-caused error to the user. - C
