The problem is that the alpha release had a bug that made it
impossible to load Splitter objects from the database.  Andreas fixed
the bug on Monday, so you could copy the changed file 
Zope/lib/python/Products/PluginIndexes/TextIndex/Splitter/ZopeSplitter/__init__.py
or you could delete whatever objects are related to the text index.

The traceback in the log indicates that the problem is related to
InterfaceBase.  (IIRC, I don't have that browser window open any
more.)  I think that Jim changed the Interface package just before the
alpha, backporting changes from the Zope3 package.  Maybe Jim can
summarize what people need to do to update their code.

I agree that it is frusterating, but I think it's hard to have an
alpha release that works perfectly with all known third party
extensions.
