Deja vu (this subject has arisen several times on the Zope lists and
always ends up in an inconclusive muddle).

Anyway, based on my testing and reading of the code, the 'content'
item available to the predicate in a policy is set to the *parent* of
the object being considered for cache headers.  Near as I can tell,
that makes it impossible to have tests like yours that check the
meta_type of the object itself.  See the _setCacheHeaders() function
in CMFCore/utils.py, where it sets content to the value of
aq_parent(obj).
