Not on Zope 2.6a1 or other derivative. Current implementation is 
Zope 2.5.1/CMF 1.3

As Tres asked that I open a collector issue up for this I expect 
that it will be resolved through that process.

Of note, one thing the community has been trying to do is move 
folks from dtml to page templates as the 'standard' templating 
deployment. Things like these (id and meta_type in the catalog) may 
make that transition more difficult as there are plenty of examples 
out there that may no longer work.

Backward compatibility is real pain in the ass sometimes.
