The bug you are reporting may be "homepage doesnt participate in
workflow",
  http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/Tracker/467

Is it only the 'index_html' in the member folder which has this
problem, and not other "private" content which members create?
I can reproduce that behavior against a Zope running against CMF
1.2.
