manage_addProperty does not trigger recataloguing of the object even
if its a subclass of CatalogAwareness. You should either call
obj.reindex_object() or at least obj.index_object(), if your
class has the CatalogAwareness-Mixin or you use the catalog API:

yourcatalog.catalog_object(obj,obj.absolute_url_path())

After that, your metadata should show up nicely w/o indexing
the whole object tree.
