That would be true, were it not for the following, in Directory._q_traverse:

        if path:
            if not isinstance(obj, Directory):
                raise TraversalError('%r is not a Directory instance' % obj)
            return obj._q_traverse(path)

I've been away from quixote for a while and missed recent changes, so
I don't know if there's a rationale for the above.  And this is
2.0a4... maybe 2.0 has removed the check.
