It looks like bad interaction with ZUnit:

(Pdb) license.propertysheets.basic
<ZInstanceSheet instance at 9a6f350>
(Pdb) license.propertysheets.basic.aq_chain
[<ZInstanceSheet instance at 9a6f350>, <License_PropertySheetsClass 
instance at 9a6f128>, <License instance at 9e19038>, <Specialist 
instance at 99ae6d8>, <Specialist instance at 996acd0>, <Folder instance 
at 9cad3b0>, *** AttributeError: testsRun

'testsRun' is an attribute that is set in ZUnit.TestMonitor
I'm poking about in ZUnit now .. benightedly ..

Here is the code context in which the above obtains::

     # Create a new reminder and reference it from the License
     reminder = container.addInstance(no_redir=1)
     import pdb; pdb.set_trace() #DBG We are here. This fails:
     license.propertysheets.basic.manage_changeProperties(
        {reminder_id_property: reminder.id})

That is in a Script (Python). The 'license' instance was
created in the calling Script (Python), and passed in as parameter.
Calling sequence:

   addLicenses (called from a ZUnitExternal test suite) ->
   addLicense (creates license instance) ->
   doRemindersForLicense(license) (creates reminder instance;
      calls license.propertysheets.basic.manage_changeProperties)

Perhaps interestingly, reminder and AUTHENTICATED_USER seem to be
OK, and license and context do not:

(Pdb) reminder.aq_chain
[<Reminder instance at 9c39bb0>, <Specialist instance at 99682a0>, 
<Application instance at 9968a48>, <RequestContainer instance at 8fd9e68>]
(Pdb) license.aq_chain
[<License instance at 9e19038>, <Specialist instance at 99ae6d8>, 
<Specialist instance at 996acd0>, <Folder instance at 9cad3b0>, *** 
AttributeError: testsRun
(Pdb) context.aq_chain
[<Specialist instance at 99682a0>, <Specialist instance at 99ae6d8>, 
<Specialist instance at 996acd0>, <Folder instance at 9cad3b0>, *** 
AttributeError: testsRun
(Pdb) context.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.aq_chain
[jean, <LoginManager instance at 996f588>, <Application instance at 
9968a48>, <RequestContainer instance at 8fd9e68>]
