Well, that's spooky. You're looking at what REQUEST is in the 
absolute_url method, and you're getting something that looks like the 
special object Acquisition.Acquired.

I can't think what would cause this, other than having this in one of 
your class definitions:

   from Acquisition import Acquired, Explicit

   class FooBar(Explicit, Persistent, ...):

     REQUEST=Acquired


Maybe you meant to write out "self" instead of "req".


Also, please do not cross-post to both the zpatterns list and the 
zope@zope.org list. Post your question to either one list or the other.
