If you rename a template it still have the same history. If you delete a template, then I don't see how you would have a problem with content generated by that template. If someone oversights a revision, then the template is effectively edited and a new timestamp is given to the template. Whether two or more revisions have the same timestamp does not matter, whats important is that the master does not have conflicting labels on the same timestamp.
This is not about browsing the client on a past date, this is about "browsing" the labels on a past timestamp - and hopefully that should boil down to time resolution on the master(s), possibly with some time skew between the different database servers.
