I have a guess. Somehow, after I changed the traversal code to return
None instead of raising a notFoundError, depending on your
configuration, if the view is not found you get that a error about a
missing docstring. I traced it to ZPublisher trying to publish
None.

So, the directive still works, however if it's not found, depending on
your setup you may get a None instead of a NotFoundError.
