You were luckier we changed dict iteration order for your own good <wink>.

No, I'm sure Zope Corporation would officially deny, denounce and decry any
intimation that convolution in support of pickling is a vice.  The true
problem is more likely that you haven't yet added enough layers of
abstraction around your pickling code.  I'm especially suspicious of that
because you were able to figure out the cause of the problem in less than a
week ...
