What happens when or more workflows have transitions or variables with the same 
name?

In my case, on workflow has an automatic transition from its initial state to a

never fired. Shane, what would you expect to happen here?

Hmmm... what if the STI just had the portal_type passed as an argument and the 
setPortalType machinery was made available as a method it could call?
