This is really driving me crazy.

I have a package, in the package there is a page_type (ptX) and a theme.

i have a single page with a form, whenever someone fills out the form it creates a new page of the page_type (ptX).

The page is created and the type assigned is correct, but the actual page type that is using is the default.php within the theme, not the ptX.
If i go to the new page, edit design and save (without doing any changes) i starts using the right page type.

Has anybody seen something like this? i am thinking that maybe i can edit design and save programatically, as a crappy temp fix
