The fact that it says "type object" means that it now thinks IRole is  
a (new-style) class rather than an interface. I wonder which IRole  
it's talking about. Could you find out where it comes from (e.g.  
inspect IRole.__module__)?

CookieClientIdManager's cookieLifeTime attribute is actually a class  
attribute. So as with IRole, it seems the ZODB isn't finding the right  
class when unpickling.

What happens when you add zope.app.session and zope.app.securitypolicy  
as explicit dependencies to your application?
