This was a bug introduced in the Zope 2.6 betas, which is now fixed in 
the Zope trunk, and will be fixed for Zope 2.6 final.

Thanks due to Jeremy for locating the bug and applying the fix.

Don't use the current 2.6 beta release for ZPatterns applications. The 
2.6 final release should work fine, but you will need to recompile 
DynPersist.so.

Perhaps someone with Windows tools can contribute a DynPersist.dll/pyd 
for use with Zope 2.6?
