Yes.  The change was introduced in Five 1.3.3, revision 66191:

  http://svn.zope.org/Products.Five/branches/1.3/?rev=66191&view=rev

The discussion on the list of the "fix" didn't take into account all the
usage patterns.

I would vote to delay a release until we find a way to restore the
broken functionality.  Could we perhaps provide an alternate
implementation with the original lookup order, and make it pluggable?
