@Tgr That ticket would basically be T193857: Short description magic word stores last instance on page
@Pbsouthwood
a) The side effect is taking something from a revision and using it for the page (different level of the datamodel).
b) This has been the behaviour of all magic words for 15 years. For instance this is also the behaviour of {{DISPLAYTITLE}}, {{DEFAULTSORT}} etc. consistency is important, even if it might be inconvenient for a particular use.
c) Wikitext parsing has many peculiarities that people need to know about in order to be able to use it correctly
