OOo's template functionality comes partly from the files and partly from a management layer. You can treat templates as normal files and get some of the template functionality, but some things won't work as intended unless you use the management functions. Unfortunately, OOo gives you no cues as to how to do it correctly.

Normally, the template names listed in the File > Templates > Organize dialog are not file names, they are /document titles/. When you create a template and save it using File > Templates > Save, you are asked to give the "New template" a name. The name entered there actually becomes the document /title/. Later, working with the file, OOo sometimes decides to change the filename and keep the same document title.

So, sometimes you access the template through it's file name, and sometimes by it's title, and they're not always the same. An unfortunate design choice.
