I have tested inserting into the content views before, so I know that it used to work.
Did you actually try it? From the way you phrased your post, I had the impression that you thought it might fail, and I also had the impression that you never actually tried inserting into cr_fooi? Maybe I'm mis-reading. If you have a test case that rereates the problem, post it, and I will take a look. I will be traveling tomorrow, so I won't look at it until Sunday or Monday.
