Then, apparently, you do something wrong...

No.

No.

The most natural way should work...

The most natural way is calling "bin/mkzopeinstance.py".
Use an instance directory without a "bin" or "etc" directory,
because "mkzopeinstance.py" will not overwrite existing files
(which it places in "bin" and "etc" subdirectories).
