runzope or zopectl fg 
are good for testing if the installation works
because you get all the messages on screen (like you show below)

zopectl start 

should be used in production because it detaches zope 
from the shell. I think the INSTALL.txt section
needs some clarify on this - although zopectl
gets mentioned there:

"""
Starting Zope

  Once an instance home has been created, the Zope server can now be
  started using this command:

    /location/of/zope/instance/bin/runzope

  If you get errors indicating that addresses are in use, then you
  will have to supply arguments to runzope to change the ports used
  for HTTP or FTP. The default HTTP and FTP ports used by Zope are
  8080 and 8021 respectively. You can change the ports used by
  specifying the "port-base" parameter to runzope.  For example, to
  run Zope on ports 9080 and 9021::

    ./bin/runzope -X port-base=1000

  There is also an interactive Zope command shell named 'zopectl' that
  may be invoked by running 'bin/zopectl'.  By default, 'zopectl
  start' will start a background process that manages Zope and
  'zopectl stop' will stop the background process.

this is faszinating. I have no Idea why on your installation
are the docstrings None. 

Yan you please quote the code lines around line 236 in 
/Programs/Zope/2.7.6/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/IZCatalog.py 
?
