This is some pretty freaky behavior for page templates, I think, but
was by design.  (I don't remember the driving use-case though; sorry.)

The problem is that Martijn's replacement doesn't start with an
element, so the attribute insertion fails.  There should probably be a
more explanatory error message in this case.

I don't really like this behavior, and wouldn't miss it if it were
disallowed, but the current expectation is that it work when the
replacement starts with an element.
