Tres reported that the problem has been resolved without telling how
he did it.

But in an earlier post, he suggested to see whether there is already
a workflow state and in this case not append a new initial state.
Apparently, this is not the solution he finally implemented,
because it would work for "copy/paste", too, and not only for "cut/paste".

That's what I know from earlier CMF versions.
I have an External Method that (quite crudely) removes the last
state from all objects.
