[Zope] ID update fails to change ID in ZMI

[Stefan H. Holek]

It's a bit of a no-no in Zope to change an object's id after it has 
been "seated" into an object manager. If you really need to do so use 
the ObjectManager API, i.e. manage_renameObject().

The reason is that object managers keep an internal list of subobject 
ids, and when this list disagrees with reality all kind of havoc is 
caused, as you have discovered.
