Hmmm, I wonder if one could hack it by avoiding '__setattr__', e.g.:

   for cat in catalogs:
       object.__dict__['default_catalog'] = cat
       object.index_object()

   cat._p_deactivate() # throw away changes

But why don't we avoid the whole thing and just call the catalog directly:

   for cat in catalogs:
       cat.catalog_object(object, object.url()
