I suspect bug 1163244 should be closed now (I just tried to reproduce
the problem report there under 2.4.2, and couldn't -- see comments I
added to the bug report).  Some nasty bugs with encoding directives
got fixed in 2.4.2, of such a low-level nature that I doubt you
_could_ work around them reliably (well, not short of removing
encoding directives!).

That's why I just helped you ;-)

Or 2.4.2 ;-)  Zopes 2.9 and 3.2 are going to require 2.4.2 -- we have
only good experience of it.
