I've no idea why these errors disappeared.

I basically chickened out.

IIRC the new webtest-based zope.testbrowser breaks API pretty hard (e.g.
you can't use zope.app.testing.functional.FunctionalTestLayer any more;
you must create a WSGITestLayer from I-forgot-what-zope.-package).

What's worse, it lacks documentation for how you're supposed to migrate
from older zope.testbrowser versions (<=4.x) to newer versions (5.x).

I will not do a release until this documentation exists.  It may take me
some time to find the time and remember how everything fits together.
It shouldn't be too hard (just find some zope package that did the
migration in a py3 branch, then document what it did), but I find my
motivation is pretty low this week.
