I think it is done like that in order to avoid having references to
broken products. However, if I'm not wrong, it has to be with the
"debug-mode" directive of the zope.conf file, which is "on" by default.
If you read about this option you will find:

"Errors in product initialization will cause startup to fail
  (instead of writing error messages to the event log file)."

So you may turn it off if you want that behaviour back.
