Comment:
Thanks for the report!
In general, the philosophy of the Django template language is to suppress
errors, on the theory that template designers should not be able to cause
crashes. So I think this is consistent with how the rest of the template
language operates.
(Personally, I don't buy the rationale for that philosophy, as it is
always possible for a template designer to make a site effectively non-
functional one way or another. But changing the approach of the entire
template language to error-suppression would require a comprehensive
review of current behavior and a proposal on the mailing list; it
shouldn't happen piecemeal via tickets for individual cases.)
