this is probably moot for you by now, but i'll reply anyway for posterity's sake.

the short answer is that your assessment is correct; the membrane 1.0 release 
supports Plone 2.5.x, but the version on trunk is leading up to 1.1 and 
requires Plone 3.0 or greater.

if someone is interested in backporting the membrane performance improvements 
to the membrane 1.0 branch, i'd have no problem making a 1.0.1 release, but i 
don't have any plans to do the back-porting personally, sorry.
