#ask result maps with template giving UNIQ/QINU tags

Description:
Trying to upgrade to MW 1.17/SMW 1.6/SM 1.0, but a new problem emerged:
When I have an ask query with map results that use a template, many of the formatted elements (headers and links at least) that appear above the map have the UNIQ...QINU in them, with source code like:
<h3> <span class="mw-headline" id=".7FUNIQ527bb8725a0682a4-h-0--QINU.7FSettlements">UNIQ527bb8725a0682a4-h-0--QINUSettlements</span></h3>

I have some form links which are replaced completely by the UNIQ tag:
{{#formlink:form=TextBlock|link text=Add quote...|query string=super_page={{PAGENAME}}&Attribute_t[Place]={{PAGENAME}}&Attribute_t[AttType]=quote}}
becomes
UNIQ352fb3c1cbec798-item-1--QINU

formatted elements appearing *below* the map are fine. Other templates work fine, and if I remove the template= from the ask query, it works fine.

This wasn't a problem in MW 1.16.1/SMW 1.5.6/SM 0.7.7. I think I followed all the upgrading instructions. Might I have missed something?

This is a bug occurring when combining MediaWiki 1.17.x with SM 1.0 and using the template parameter. I have looked at it but could not find any working solution. (Well, this sort of is, originally you'd simply get a fatal error when trying to use the template parameter)

The issue does not occur for MediaWiki 1.18 and later.

This is quite unfortunate of course. You can always try getting a core dev that knows the MediaWiki parser well have a look at it.

Ouch! This is no the answer I'd like, but I understand that it is not worth fixing if it will go away soon.

I suppose I can make do until 1.18 is released.

Investigating further, this seems to happen when a template included at the same page as the map contains one or more <nowiki />-codes. It also happens when calling parser functions that use Parser::recursiveTagParse somewhere in the code.

Could you try https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44608/ and see if that fixes it?

It's putting back in the old dirty fix, no time to look for something better ATM.

Yes, that fixes it!
