well, consider me a second data point on this problem.... I'm in the
process of migrating a Zope 2.6.2/CMF1.3.1/Plone1.0.5 site to the latest
'n greatest of each of those products.    I've currently upgraded Zope to
the latest 2.7 beta and kept the rest the same.

I'm experiencing the same sort of problem as you - e.g., these lines
(which happen to be from the epoz_toolbox.pt):

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
          tal:define="charset here/portal_properties/site_properties/default_charset; dummy python:request.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html;;charset=%s' % charset)"
          tal:attributes="content string:text/html;;charset=${charset}" />

produced an error before I moved the 2 tal:define clauses up onto one
line.

very weird
