The "stock" CMFCore.PortalFolder module does not filter
'content{Ids,Items,Values}' based on expiration range.  I believe that
Plone has gone to using catalog queries for their 'folder_contents'
view, which should respect the range for non-manager users.

A patch to fix this would be accepted:  you probably want to be hacking
on the '_filteredItems' method in CMFCore.PortalFolder, along with
adding tests.
