The issue with what you're asking is that you want a template that transcludes
(but has short-circuited out) another page to show up on the whatlinkshere, but
you do /not/ want a page that transcludes that template (with the
short-circuiting still in place) to show up on the whatlinkshere. The problem
is that you want transclusions that are not evaluated are considered to be
transclusions for the purposes of whatlinkshere only if the page actually
includes the template call, and not if the template call is transcluded from
somewhere else. One way to see this is that you are requesting different
behavior based on whether Template:Somebox is or is not substituted in. While I
see how your requested behavior could be useful in certain situations, it seems
to me that it would break a few other bits, including that subst: does not
alter how a page parses, and that two pages, both of which have a
short-circuited call to a template, but one of which has that call via another
template call, will behave differently with regards to that template. Since the
initial bug was fixed with the new parser, I'm closing this worksforme.
