AFAIK, you're right.  In Portal.py, you can find where all the Types
are added as products in a single batch (hence the way they all come
up in the products list as a single Product, CMFDefault Content).  

>From CMFDefault.__init__.py:

    utils.ContentInit( 'CMFDefault Content'
                     , content_types=contentClasses
                     , permission=ADD_CONTENT_PERMISSION
                     , extra_constructors=contentConstructors
                     , fti=CMFDefault.factory_type_information
                     ).initialize( context )

So I add other products separately, something like this:

    utils.ContentInit( 'Anon Content',
                       content_types = (anonContentClasses,),
                       permission = 'Add Anon Types',
                       extra_constructors = anonContentConstructors,
                       fti = CMFDefault.anon_factory_type_information,
                       ).initialize(context)

Which is pretty darn messy, but it gets the job done...
