I noticed this as well. Have a look at the traceback in
Control/Products/Plone: It says that some method (Action?) is missing.
I noticed that this method is absent from CMF 1.2 (which is used in the
current woody packages), but it is present in CMF 1.3beta1. When I
removed the woody zope-cmf* packages and installed CMF 1.3beta1 (in fact
I installed it in /var/lib/zope/Products, which overrides
/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products; therefore it's not necessary to
remove zope-cmf*) and restarted Zope, Plone worked just fine.

Appearently the Plone documentation is incorrect: CMF 1.2 is not enough,
you need at least something like 1.3beta1.
