Cannot create a new page in the Pages Library

Question

I can create a new page in a SharePoint 2010 publishing site by going Site Actions > New Page.  The Create page shows as expected.  But when I try creating a new page from a pages library by going to the ribbon > Documents > New Document > Content Page, I get directed to the "Upload Document" screen instead of the create page screen.  The page is a custom content type.  I have checked the the Document Template for the content type is set to /_layouts/CreatePage.aspx but this doesn't seem to make a difference.
