I, too, would like to know that...
In my view it is completely stupid!
Especially, combined with the stupid logging behaviour
during startup that causes error reports during this phase
to be lost!

It comes from "OFS.Application.install_products".
In our version of Zope, I disabled this "feature":

        install_product(app, product_dir, product_name, meta_types,
                        folder_permissions,
                        # DM: don't!
                        # we may want to be stricter in production mode
                        # raise_exc=debug_mode,
                        )

The comments above get rid of it.
