This is now

     http://plone.org/collector/4875

but I'll follow up here first as I have more of
a question than an answer:

The followup 2 regarding FTP gave me a hint. I looked at
how Plone Folders handle MKCOL and sure enough, there is
no call to neither 'invokeFactory' nor '_finishCreation'.
Nevertheless theses new instances seem to acquire (maybe
even in the technical sense) a portal_type (and workflow_history)
but when inspected in a debugging session (zopectrl debug) one
can see that a folder created through FTP/WebDAV uploads does
not have an *instance attribute* called portal_type (so it
gets inherited or acquired).

Now: Does anyone here know whether this might cause problems
when migrating content?

All I know as of now is that the walker used for the content
migration queries the portal catalog on (meta_type, portal_type)
combinations to figure out which objects to migrate but
that shouldn't be a problem than here.

Any other ideas?

Maybe this is completely off track?

In any case: can someone confirm that the handling of
container uploads to Plone is (still) borked?
