Indeed!  It turns out only one of the unit tests is needed to provoke
the failure:

C:\Code\Zope3>\python23\python.exe test.py -vv zope.app.apidoc
Configuration file found.

I disabled the other 17 unit tests it normally runs here "by hand"
(giving relevant methods an empty docstring, and stuffing "return
None" at the start of relevant test_suite() functions).

zope/app/apidoc/zcmlmodule/README.txt can be reduced to 3 lines then,
and the failure still occurs:

  >>> from zope.app.apidoc.zcmlmodule import ZCMLModule
  >>> module = ZCMLModule()
  >>> module._makeDocStructure()
