This is w3m's fault, it does not send the Authentication header to
frames in a frameset, just to the frameset.  Zope calculates
'manage_workspace' based on various factors, including whether or not
you are authorized to access the managment view.  Since you are
effectivly 'anonymous' in the frame it shows you the anonymous view. 
Uncheck 'View' for anonymous and you will probably get a 401
Unauthorized.

I don't think it's Zope's fault.  In this case, w3m is probably ignoring
or not understanding the <base> tag.
