The ZODB raised an exception and the application (Zope) logged it
and then continued.

Formerly, errors in the second commit phase caused Zope
to refuse any transactions until a restart (with clearly visible
request failure).

Apparently, someone modified the behaviour in this respect -- maybe
because it has been too drastical.

Because, it is used in the first stage of the commit
while your problem apparently was only detected in the second
phase.
