When you use "_getCopy" on the folderish object, this object and
its subobjects (what you call "contained objects") are copied.
As the workflow state is maintained in an attribute, the workflow state
of both the object and the contained objects is carried over
into the copy. When this is not what you want, you must do
something about it (i.e. call "_changeStateOf" for the respective
object).
