If a template Foo has the following content: <nowiki>[[Image:Blah.jpg]]</nowiki> And the template is included on another page with {{subst:Foo}}, then gibberish along the following lines will be generated. NaodW29-nowiki72f7fedc5c4276c00000001 This occurs for any markup surrounded by <nowiki></nowiki>. If multiple nowiki blocks exist, a separate string of gibberish will appear for each block, with the last digit incrementing. This was first spotted with enwiki's [[Template:Welcome]], and appears any time it is used with {{subst:Welcome}}. The problem does not manifest without subst:, that is {{Welcome}} displays as expected.
the same was already noticed by many users who have images within their signatures
@Signatures The problem arises from math-tags within link texts: The link [[Pi|<math>\pi</math>]] did work as expected, but doesn't do now. de:Benutzer:SirJective

This also happens when SUBT:ituting templates with <pre></pre>, take a look at http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brukar:Dittaeva/Sandkasse where {{liminn:årstal}} were used ("liminn" is the nn translation of subst), which should have substituted the page http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal:%C3%85rstal as I'm sure you all know :-)
1.4.0 released; kicking back to 1.5 blockers.
Fixed in CVS HEAD and REL1_4. Will appear in 1.4.2 release.
