All, I think we are missing something here, with the new layout switch cloning the required tiddlers for new layout, and modifying the equivalent to $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body to do the desired behavior. The underlying tiddlers will update in the core, and returning to the default layout will allow the user to see the updates. The fact is your "extra layout" may break if something changes in the core but you have copies of the older version in your layout definition, and you can just switch layouts.
Remember when cloning a set of tiddlers for a new layout, rather than clone you can transclude a core tiddler. Add to that the ability to review the differences would make this easy. A tool to clone a tiddler by replacing the text field with a transclusion of the original OR the content (if you wish to edit the copy) would simplify this. What I am suggesting is to clone tiddlers and use a provided hackable feature such as the Layout switch, you will then have both your modified tiddlers and the core tiddlers can remain shadows only and thus receive updates.
