This may be part of a (small) Zope misfeature.

If exceptions occur during some part of product registration,
then Zope appears not to update the product state.

I suggest, you activate Zope's logging mechanism
(either through an environment variable
"STUPID_LOG_FILE=file" or with an equivalent command line
argument to "start"). Then restart Zope and look at the log
file.
If you see exceptions there, file a bug report into the Collector.
