It has been a false alarm. Sorry!

  The same problem occured with the new BTrees module.

  Therefore, I checked the error again and found,
  that the problem was not caused by "tree[k] =3D v"
  but by a nearby "del tree[k]" (which, of course, is entitled to raise
  "KeyError").

  When we had analysed the error for the first time, we happened
  to look at some slightly outdated source.
