Right, I saw that and I looked at that code, but then I felt vague and got
lost. :)

Oddly enough though, it doesn't seem like these checks *should* fail:

* I can add a new object of the same meta_type to that folder, in the
management screen -- so it should be part of all_meta_types

* Because I can do that (logged in as manager) it doesn't seem to be a
security check that fails as well.

Since apparently it has to be one of these two I'll continue my search, but
it certainly is odd. Perhaps it's a matter of strangely configured security.
And I do hack around meta_types a bit so it may be that as well.
