In 2.7.2, Zope/Startup/handlers.py root_handler automatically adds INSTANCE_HOME/Products to the products search path, even if that directory doesn't exist. This then causes an exception later on when we try to access that directory. Modifying the code:

    instanceprod = os.path.join(config.instancehome, 'Products')
    if instanceprod not in config.products:
        config.products.append(instanceprod)

to include a check:

    instanceprod = os.path.join(config.instancehome, 'Products')
    if os.path.exists(instanceprod) and instanceprod not in config.products:
        config.products.append(instanceprod)

remedies this.
