Thanks for the reply, even though you've managed to throw me back into 
confusion  :-)
If I do it TTW, the portlet shows right away; if I export the 
configuration, I get the exact same xml snippet as above; but if I 
inspect the manager, I see that I have, for the 
['content_type']['Folder'] keys, a PortletAssignmentMapping and not a 
PortletCategoryMapping. I'll  keep digging into the issue.
