This is a very strange Zope behaviour that puzzled me seriously,
when I saw it first:

  When a error occurs during some phase in the product installation,
  Zope is so confused that it does not update the information
  in the "traceback" tab of the product.

In such cases:

  Activate the logging mechanism (define "STUPID_LOG_FILE=<your file>"),
  restart Zope and look into the log file.
