Pylint, at least our current version (still 1.4.4 as some more recent
versions are apparently much slower), may choke on some imports on the
first validation since Zope was started, only to later succeed. Hypothesis
is that it fails to analyse some imported modules, leaving empty shells
behind in some cache, making a second test avoid the error.
Here is one such error:
