This is a *very* unusual behaviour of Zope. I have never seen it (or
heard about it before your post).

I know of only a single problem where Zope does not reliably report
problems: when a product cannot be imported during startup,
then the only hint may be in Zope's logfile -- especially, the
product may not seem to be broken in "Control_Panel --> Product management.

But that is definitely not your problem.

I fear somehow you have screwed up your Zope.
It behaves differently from how we know it.


To be sure: you look into the "error_log" object in the ZMI,
have removed any "exceptions to be ignored" and nevertheless
do not see any error log messages there?
