Chris, thanks for the idea - I tried it, but  it generated the error: 
BadRequest: ('Empty or invalid id specified', <Folder at /Coz/WUI>)

After looking at the Transience.py source I found the answer:  Instead of 
passing 'self' as the first parameter I passed the folder object instead. 
The worked because constructTransientObjectContainer does: 
self._setObject(id, ob)

So the final solution was:

        folder = self.restrictedTraverse('Coz/TempImages')
        constructTransientObjectContainer(folder, 'GarbageCollector', 
timeout_mins=10, limit=0,
                delNotification=BASEFOLDER+'DeleteTempImage')


Thanks again for the help, it got me thinking in the right direction!
