In the current CVS they do.  Tanming, if you're using a source code
distribution of Zope you can change the definition of class 'record' in
ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py to the following:

class record:
    def __getattr__(self, key, default=None):
        if key in ('get', 'keys', 'items', 'values', 'copy', 'has_key'):
            return getattr(self.__dict__, key)
        raise AttributeError, key

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return self.__dict__[key]

    def __str__(self):
        L1 = self.__dict__.items()
        L1.sort()
        return join(map(lambda item: "%s: %s" %item, L1), ", ")

    __repr__ = __str__
