Yes.

Workflow instances are added to a content object by the workflow manager. The 
workflow manager is a event subscriber to `IObjectCreatedEvent`s. 
`createObject()` does not generate such an event and thus no workflow 
instances are added. When adding objects programmatically, you need to do 
something like:

>>> from zope.app...? import objectevent
>>> from zope.event import notify
>>> event = objectevent.ObjectCreatedEvent(object)
>>> notify(event)

There is no other documentation.
