The correct list for this question is either the Zope CMF list
(zope-cmf at lists.zope.org) or one of the Plone lists (if the tool is not
a stock CMF tool).

I would look at adding some logging to the workflow tool's
'_recursiveUpdateRoleMappings' method, in order to get a handle on what
is happening in your case.  You might need to write an ExternalMethod
which emulated the "re-apply security" button for separate parts of your
site.
