**Description:**
The problem is that the expandtemplates API call returns with some unexpanded
templates:
Minimal Example:

API Call (without revision info of article...):
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=expandtemplates&format=jsonfm&text={{User:Volker.haas/TemplateExpansion}}
Result:
>{
> "expandtemplates": {
>
"*": "blub<ref>{{Structurae|id=s0015184|title=Padma >Bridge|nolink=1}}, [[Padma Bridge|Report on the official hearing on construction >progress]]<\/ref>\n\n== References ==\n<div class=\"reflist >references->column-count references-column-count-2\" style=\"-moz-column-count: >2; -webkit-column-count: 2; column-count: 2; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<references group=\"\"><\/references><\/div>"

This issue is criticial for the PDF rendering software (Extension:Collection and mwlib), since it now uses the API for expanding templates
