The problem is *NOT* the inheritance structure but the assignment
to the attribute (therefore, nothing changes when you flatten your
class hierarchy).

I have been bitten by this feature, too.
I posted a problem description to "zope-dev" (--> mailing list archives)
and made a Collector entry (now probably lost due to the ill fate
of the old collector).

Maybe, you search my post and recreate a Collector entry.
However, I do not have much hope that the problem (bug)
will get fixed in the near future.
