Hmm, it was working in Zope 3, moreover there is even a tests for this case in 
'zope/tal/tests/test_talinterpreter.py'. The only possibility I've seen so far 
is 'evaluateStructure' call returns something different from 'TypesToTranslate' 
and no translation happens.

I think it's a bug and should be fixed anyway.
