it's a good question, actually supporting both .something and ['something'] syntax is a very old time choice, that is there since 2.0. The issue is that it actually doesn't support both syntaxes, the .something syntax is only supported for first level options and what's happening is that base_config.flash.templates gets converted to base_config['flash']['template'] but as the option is actually named 'flash.template' and there is no 'flash' dictionary that contains the 'template' value it crashes when you try to set/read it using the .flash.template syntax.
The current config system in TG was actually an extension over the Pylons config system and so had some odd behaviours caused by the fact that is was actually a mix of the two config systems. Due to backward compatibility the 2.3 released kept the same behaviours even though it didn't use Pylons anymore. This is one of the things I'm working on to resolve for 2.4 which will have a better engineered config system meant explicitly for TG and that will also be able to automatically generate documentation of the configuration options.
