It seems to fail for *every* template, not only for those added as
extensions. I think this is a bug. I couldn't find any code evaluating
the arguments "TemplateRegionName" and "TemplateName". I'm not sure if
there is an issue already, but it's possible.
The following code should work:

but it doesn't give you a return value. Perhaps this is enough for you?
