That is truly bizarre; dc.type is what I most commonly default, and it's always worked fine for me (though I've been bitten by case-sensitivity once or twice). The only thing I can think of is to check input-forms.xml to be sure dc.type is still in there for those collections? (Though it honestly shouldn't make a difference; I've defaulted metadata that I then removed from input-forms.xml.)
