Oops, it's the $...Fmt variable cache at work.  Okay, change the code
to the following:

    # change the link format for creating new pages
    $LinkPageCreateFmt = "<a class='createlinktext' href='\$PageUrl?action=edit\$LinkTemplate'>\$LinkText</a><a class='createlink' href='\$PageUrl?action=edit\$LinkTemplate'>\$LinkText</a>";

    # default is no template
    $FmtV['$LinkTemplate'] = '';

    # the (:template Group.PageName:) markup causes any create page 
    # links that follow to use Group.PageName as the template
    Markup('template', 'directives',
      '/\\(:template\\s(\\S+)\\s*:\\)/e',
      "PZZ(\$GLOBALS['FmtV']['$LinkTemplate'] = '&amp;template=$1')");

That should fix it.  (If you're doing the other markups, you'll need
to switch them to use 'FmtV' also.)
