Unfortunately ive had no time on the last weeks to look at CMFForum and make 
it work with latest plone. But one of the things that you pointed out is 
interesting: you are trying to publish the Forum. The forum should not be 
publishable (in my opinion) but Posts should be. Im taking note to remove the 
workflow from the Forum type on installation, which i think should be the 
right way to do it.

About using Forum to replace the discussions on Plone, we discussed a lot 
about that and we agreed that this should be done very soon, but probably 
after 1.0. This tuesday we will have the 3rd Plone Bug Day, come to the 
irc.openprojects.net, channell #plone and throw your suggestions at us!
