The standard idiot\widiom used when calling this kind of stuff in a script is:
context.manage_addProduct['myProduct'].manage_addAction(request.id)

...the abscence of a REQUEST is generally taken to mean "don't redirect anywhere".

Will this method ever be the target of a form?

Nah ,you'll probably find mxmObjectManager.addClass( has the other half of the 
standard idiot init:

if REQUEST is not None:
    REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('somewhere'

...so try not passign the request through...

cheers,
