As sure as one can be when comparing a Plone 2.0.3 all-in-one windows 
distribution with a custom built zope 2.7.0/zope2.7.2 + plone 2.0.3 (all 
combinations tried) Unix server environment.  (Not really basically)

But surely no-one will advise me that this should matter for the 
purposes of importing/exporting as long as both are Plone 2.0.3.

Besides, the problem is not consistent between linux servers of same 
versions (just compiled on different distros) and AFAIK, there's no 
reason why objects should not be portable in this way because although 
the exception mentions CMFCore.CMFCatalog* and CMFPlone, the actual 
catch is way down in ZCTextIndex and ZCatalog which is Zope.  Or am I wrong?
