I can confirm this bug for

Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.583.gedef1)

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of
2010-12-11 on raven, modified by Debian

Looks like 516b2fbb8763788585ac6a9f60ad7d51c4b0aab3 is the culprit:
`template' also contains the original entry.

I'll see to provide a fix for this.
