Comment (by Aymeric Augustin):
I didn't know this was possible. I'm not seeing obvious use cases -- why
would you pass a template instance rather than a template identifier and
let the template loader do its job? But indeed it's documented.
Anyway, `{% include compiled_template %}` path wraps a Context in another
Context, while `{% include 'template_to_compile.html' %}` doesn't. I don't
see why these two code paths handle context differently when
`compiled_template = get_template('template_to_compile.html')`. This is
likely a bug or a potential source of bugs, and the root cause of the
problem described here.
Of course, if no one wants to look into that, reverting
6a7495051304d75865add6ff96422018984e1663 is a reasonable way to avoid a
backwards incompatibility. It would still be worth creating another ticket
for resolving the inconsistency in context handling.
