I just tried this, creating a new widget including:
<access origin="*"/>
... and dropped it into /deploy. In policies I get:
http\://labs.cetis.ac.uk/test * ALLOW
... which is what I would expect.
Can you create an issue in the tracker
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE) and attach a .wgt file or
config.xml that exhibits the problem?

Are you sure you're editing the policies file on the actual server? If you're
running a dev copy locally it will be in build/webapp/wookie/WEB-INF/policies

Either of the approaches you tried above *should* work.
