It sounds a bit strange:

  When the "class" (more precisely, its singleton instance)
  opens a ZODB store (assuming it is the only one), then
  this instance is apparently not persistent (from what
  "ZODB store" should it come). But when it is not persistent,
  "_v_" attributes are just normal attributes.
