Thanks for the report; this may be due to conflicting packages..

What you could try is follow the instructions concerning a ZEO 
installation (as in the INSTALL.txt) in Five trunk. Basically just 
symlink the Zope 3 directories really needed into your PYTHONPATH.

If the problem goes away then, then we know it's due to packages 
interfering and we can add instructions to the INSTALL.txt.
