I have seen thinks like this, too.

It happens when your browser sends the version cookie (its called
something like "ZopeVersion"). Ensure, no cookies of similar
name are send to Zope and see whether the problem disappears.

The "version management" in "Control_Panel" is a reliable source
of information about versions and how to save/quit them.
