OK, I think I've reproduced this.  But I haven't fixed it.  :-(  As soon as
I do, I'll let you know...

Yes, I mean I'm getting a conflict error on every access (for an
existing session), after a conflict.

I've read the docs, they are the best docs I've seen for anything Zope,
but they don't mention a reason why this might happen.

Any ideas?
