This is actually very easy!  The BeforeTraverse machinery will call a 
'__before_publishing_traverse__' method defined in an object's class, 
even if the object has AccessRules or other contents that use this hook.

Example:

class MyClass:
     ...stuff...

     def __before_publishing_traverse__(self, request):
         # Do something with the request, such as fool with
         # request['TraversalRequestNameStack'].
         # The return value doesn't matter.
