Sorry, the traceback shows you are using zc.buildout 1.5.0.

I take it collective.recipe.supervisor does not use an Options object from zc.buildout?  That is what is passed to zc.recipe.egg normally.  Options objects now have a query_bool method, which reduces a lot of duplication of code acrorss recipes.

I'd argue that this is a bug in the collective.recipe.supervisor, but I knew at the start that zc.recipe.egg usage was likely to be fragile.  I'll put together a more-backwards-compatible change later, hopefully today.
