I've always found that to be somewhat confusing behaviour. In a Zope 2 
context I use an error view like this:

class ErrorView(grok.View):
     grok.context(Exception)
     grok.name("index.html")
     grok.template("error")

     def update(self):
         self.exception=aq_inner(self.context)
         self.context=aq_parent(self)
         log.exception("Error at %r", self.context)


That gives you a more common context and exposes the exception as 
view.exception. I would expect a similar trick to work in a Zope 3 
environment as well.

Wichert.
