I can fix it, but that's still a good question.  In Zope3's
testrunner.py, just change

    '--at-level', 1,

to

    '--at-level', '1',

in the default_setup_args list literal.  At the end of your traceback,
`val` was the integer 1, but optparse expects to be crunching a string
at that point:

File "/home/fdrake/plat/linux/lib/python2.5/optparse.py", line 394, in
_parse_num
   if val[:2].lower() == "0x":         # hexadecimal
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
