New Meta Types must register with Zope to be available in the
dropdown list.
Apparently, this registration is not changed when you modify
the meta type -- a bug.
File a bug report into the collector.
I would expect, the bug will get a low priority.
Thus, if its fix is essential for you, you may look at the code
and fix it yourself. A patch for the collector would be great
in this case.
