Loading template.el manually should be enough.

Can you show the part of the source that invokes 'debug'?

Since you are using an old verion of the development sources, doing
that wouldn't be an efficient way of investigating this problem.  I
suggest to upgrade to the latest sources, and if the problem still
persists, we can take it from there.
