Comment (by tim_heap):
Upon further reading, it appears that 'self' is a special variable in
Jinja. [http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templates/#child-template From the
Jinja docs]:
If you want to print a block multiple times, you can, however, use the
special self variable and call the block with that name:
{{{#!jinja
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<h1>{{ self.title() }}</h1>
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
}}}
Changing Jinja to suit this requirement is not reasonable, so I will log a
bug with Wagtail CMS to rename the 'self' variable to something that can
work.
