Further followup:

Steve Alexander (on #zope) asked what ZPTs used as their add form, and I
found the following in ZopePageTemplate.py:

# Product registration and Add support
manage_addPageTemplateForm = PageTemplateFile(
    'www/ptAdd', globals(), __name__='manage_addPageTemplateForm')

Adding the __name__='manage_addForm' parameter to the code in my product
makes it work.

This seems to be a difference between PageTemplateFiles in Zope 2.5 and
PageTemplates 1-4-1.

Anyway, I'm not certain anymore whether this is a bug or a design
decision for 2.5, as DTMLFiles don't require anything similar in 2.5.

Any ideas?
