If ExpandTemplates is asked to expand a template that applies a DEFAULTSORT:, it loses the DEFAULTSORT: line altogether. This may lead template debuggers to the false impression that the template is failing to apply a DEFAULTSORT, when in fact it is. Hang on; I'll throw together a use case on test.
