[TYPO3-templavoila] TV Page Module not showing "Main Content Area" and "Create new element" icon

[Joerg Wagner - DigiLog multimedia]

I found two bug reports that obviously describe the exactly same problem, 
though somewhat vage in their details:

http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2698
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2322

The second one is much more detailed and I will add my findings to it.
Actually I also get the JS error that is described there, if I switch on JS 
debugger in IE or if I open the JS console in FireFox.
And as described there the error in FF has no consequences, but in IE the TO 
and DS entries in the db get filled with nonsense.
