So before this block of code you have already set the layout template?
If so then a work around would be to do the following:
// Save the layout template before setScreenTemplate
// clobbers it.
String layout = data.getLayoutTemplate();

Maybe we could change the behavior of setScreenTemplate() so
that it optionally looked for a matching layout template or
maybe we could make another method, say, setScreenTemplateXXX()
that looked up the layout and the original method wouldn't.
I'll think about it for a bit. But the work around should do
the trick if it's your layout template that's getting
clobbered by setScreenTemplate().
