Ok, so take another look now and see if the results are what you expect. 
  They weren't what I expected: {=$ is always substituted, but {$ and 
{*$ were not, even when applied to {=$foo} and escaped [@{=$foo}@}

I expanded the text at the top of the pagelist template ("header") to 
layout 4 rows of markup.

The first uses spaces to prevent any substitutions.

For the last three rows, the middle column, which uses the {=$ variation 
is always substituted (even when applied to a non-existent {=$foo} and 
its escaped version [@{=$foo}@]).
