Almost surely, you are right with this. See below.

This means, "absolute_url" is unable to acquire "REQUEST".
This happens when the "acquisition chain" is not complete.

Note, that newly constructed objects are not yet acquisition wrapped.
The get (usually) wrapped by:

    container._setObject(id, newObject)
    newObject = container._getOb(id) # now wrapped
