As it is now your "manage_afterAdd" is an unbound function in the 
module. It really should be a class method for it to be called by Zope:

from Products.OrderedFolder import OrderedFolder
from mxm import mxmObjectManager
from Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplate import PageTemplate

class ESRFFolder(OrderedFolder.OrderedFolder, 
mxmObjectManager.mxmObjectManager):

    meta_type = 'ESRF Folder'

    _allowed_meta_types = ('ESRF Folder','Page Template','Image','File')

    _properties = (
        {'id':'title', 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'},
        {'id':'Summary', 'type':'text', 'mode':'w'},
    )

    def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container):
        Folder.manage_afterAdd(self, item, container)

        try: user=REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER']
        except: user=None

        if (user is not None) and not (
            user.has_permission('Add Page Templates', self)):
            raise 'Unauthorized', (
                  'You are not authorized to add Page Templates.'
                   )
        try:
            self._setObject('contents_html', 
PageTemplate.PageTemplate('contents_html'))
        except:
            pass

def manage_addAction(self, id=None, REQUEST=None):
    "Add instance to parent ObjectManager"
    mxmObjectManager.addClass(self, id, ESRFFolder, REQUEST)

constructors =  (mxmObjectManager.manage_addForm, manage_addAction)
