It will - they get translated to calls of the form $template->foo('bar').
But in this case, $template, doesn't implement a 'foo' method or the
appropriate AUTOLOAD to handle it, so it is silently ignored. At this
level, template should be considered a read-only item.

I think Tony's issue was that he wanted to check in a PRE_PROCESS or PROCESS
file if a template.value had been set by the appropriate META in the main
template.
The DEFAULT directive doesn't work because template is read-only, but
I typically do something like this:
[% title = template.title or site.title %]
