Thus, traversal seems to work correctly.
Calling the object somehow seems not to work.

I would try Python level debugging.

  I would add a "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" in
  "ZPublisher/Publish.py" after "obj= request.traverse(...)".
  Zope will stop giving control to the debugger ("pdb").
  I would then single step through Zope's code.

  You must start Zope in a way that you can access its "stdin/stdout"
  via a terminal window (such that you can interact with the debugger).

When you are a fan of IDE's, you can use WingIDE for the debugging.
It's commercial, but there is a trial license.
