The problem is, currently, not interesting enough for me to
analyse is seriously. This may change, when some day, I
or a collegue runs against strange content type assignment.

If you know, that you add only "*.doc" files in your
"ccDocClass_add, why not add
explicitely "content_type='application/msword'", i.e.

     <dtml-call "manage_addFile('', file, '',content_type='application/msword')">
