Yeah, to me as well it sounds like you're barking up the wrong tree here. You shouldn't need any kind of faking like this. "z3c.form requires a context variable on the object e.g. to look up dynamic vocabularies" This isn't right: a z3c.form form is just a view like any other. It is looked up on the context and the request. In Dexterity (which I assume you're using?), that's going to be the content object. I think you need to take a step back and look at how your form is set up, not dive into deep magic of persistence.
