Just brainstorming:
To avoid the wikitext mangling, you could wrap it in some tag that works
like <html> if $wgRawHtml is set and <pre> otherwise.
Or one step further, maybe a tag <foo wikitext="{{P}}">html goes here</foo>
that parses just as {{P}} does (and ignores "html goes here" entirely),
which preserves the property that the output of expandtemplates will mostly
work when passed back to the parser.
