A comment that might speak for changing or at least prominently documenting
this:

I just wrote a MediaWiki template expander in Java -- when I was done
implementing all the features I needed, I tested it on a real-life example that
uses lots of nested templates
(http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Annexe:Conjugaison_française:abaisser) and
compared the result with the raw expanded output
(http://fr.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Annexe:Conjugaison_française:abaisser&action=raw&templates=expand).
Everything was exactly right, including all whitespace, except that I seemed to
be missing a newline at the very beginning, and I couldn't figure out where
that was supposed to be coming from. The time it cost me to dig into the source
code and bug reports to get to the bottom of this one discrepancy was quite a
significant fraction of the total time I spent writing the expander. I still
haven't found anything outside source code and bug reports that documents this
behaviour.
