Well, unchecking the box and resaving the template now always gives me
the correct code _in the management console_.  If I "view source" on the
generated page though the customisations are not there.  I do have 
"custom" before everything else in the right skin in the portal_skins
properties.  It's simply not working.

Another idea was to edit the zpt files directly on the filesystem.  I
consider this a gross hack, and my major concern with it is how do you
specify which CMF site the modifications affect?  I'd prefer to render a
staging site utterly useless than the production one ;-)
