I was certain that there was a collector entry related to this, but I 
can't find it for the life of me.

The bug is in MultiHook, and affects only classes that define a 
__before_publishing_traverse__ method.  Normally, the method would be 
called with arguments (container, request) after being bound to the 
instance.  MultiHook was carefully calling the underlying unbound 
function instead.  Thus, if your method signature was (self, container, 
request), it would be called correctly until something else tried to use 
the hook (such as a VHM or Access Rule).

I've checked in a fix for the 2.7 branch, but I haven't set up 
Subversion yet, so I haven't fixed the HEAD.
