   As Wichert noted, this does not work.

   Good point. I can imagine that very well, indeed. :)

   For the record, I have proposed a patch that let us automatically 
register a permission if the profile explicitly asks for it, with 
something like:

     ...
     <permission name="My new permission"
                   register="True">
       <role name="Manager"/>
       ...
