Nope. The portal_types tool still sets that value inside
'constructInstance'; the likeliest way to get an instance without its
portal_type set is to construct is some other way (e.g., via the ZMI).

To repair this, write an ExternalMethod which runs through all the
instances in your site, and uses other clues (e.g., the meta_type, or
whatever) wo reconstruct the portal_type. E.g.:
for brain in self.portal_catalog.searchResults( portal_type=3DNone ):
object =3D brain.getObject()
if object.meta_type =3D=3D 'Document':
object.portal_type =3D 'Document'
#....
Then recatalog everything by pushing the "Update" button on the workflow
tool.

Please note that 'portal_type' is supposed to be an instance attribute,
not a class attribute, and that it is set by the types tool when content
objects are created through it, as they should be. *Never* create CMF
content objects via the ZMI: that way lies madness.
