You should not trust documentation completely...

The quoted portion says 2 things:

  1.  WebDAV needs "PUT" andd "manage_FTPget"

  2.  WebDAV support entails FTP support

While 1 is probably true, you made the experience that 2 is true
only partially. Trust your experience more than the documentation!

This means, you must find out what methods WebDAV uses and adapt
these. I would instrument "ZPublisher.Publish.publish"
with an "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()", then make a WebDAV request
(Zope will stop in the Python debugger at the "set_trace()")
and see how the request is processed.
