This is a known problem, stemming from PortalContent's use of the
'manage_afterAdd' hook;  the Right Thing (tm) would probably involve
the use of an event channel;  in the meantime, a workaround is to
modify the 'notifyCreated' handlers in the workflow implementations
to check for existing "workflow-relevant data" on the instance.

See tracker issue #410 for a related problem:
