In this discussion from another list, Tres suggested that the bug might be in zope.app.keyreference so I'm copying this to the development list.
The gist here is that the IPersistent, IObjectAddded event handler will force objects to have connections and makes assumptions about what connection it should get that might not be valid. Here's the thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.product-developers/2309 Thoughts?
