Sorry I missed this post: there actually is a valid reason
you may want to translate the include: imagine you have a
header.html.en, header.html.fr, and so on... you may want to
change which file gets included depending on the
translation.

Admittedly, that's not as good as Apache's MultiViews. I
personally don't need it. But it's not necessarily a bug,
just a misunderstood feature that was accidently introduced ;)
