I have seen a similar traceback which was due to a bug in CopyPaste.py,
to which I have submitted a patch. It had to do with a lack of an
acquisition wrapper at an inopportune time. It looks as though
absolute_url() is being called without a proper wrapper around the
object it is begin called for.

What object is it begin called for?
