Well, the menu entry should not really be here; also adding it to zmi_views is 
wrong. You want to use the "addMenuItem directive. However, this does not 
explain that the menu item is showing up in the IPerson tabs.

You should not need this, if you specify the "add" attribute in the 
containerViews directive:

  <browser:containerViews
      for="zope.app.folder.interfaces.IFolder"
      contents="zope.ManageContent"
      index="zope.View"
      add="zope.ManageContent"
      />

All that makes sense, since you are in the adding view and you registered a 
zmi_views entry for IAdding. Just remove it, as I suggested above.
