With the help of Alessandro Ghedini I was able to resolve my problem
with zeromq3. It turns out it was a mis-configured build environment I
was using in my Ubuntu 13.04 install. Sorry for spreading doubt about
zeromq3 quality.

Nevertheless I still want to wait until after Wheezy and Ubuntu 13.04
release before changing pyzmq in experimental unless there is a reason
which would require it to be done right now which I'm not aware of.
