Moral of the story: if you want sane things to happen, make sure your 
script returns a string output.

Otherwise you risk tickling some of the more arcane "features" of Zope 
2's publisher. They include "no content" responses if you return None 
and even weirder things if you return a two-element tuple.

This isn't a bug, you're doing something silly, stop doing it ;-)

cheers,

Chris
