On ee-flow.wmflabs.org, I wrote a post on Maryana's talk page which contained a transclusion of Template:Vandalism. I then changed Template:Vandalism, but those changes are not reflected in the post on Maryana's talk page.
The WMF core features team tracks this bug on Mingle card https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/flow/cards/580, but people from the community are welcome to contribute here and in Gerrit.
This currently "works as intended", templates within flow are treated as if they were subst'd. This does need to be better documented. This is currently the most common usage of templates within talk pages, additionally posts lend themselves naturally to being a specific point in time rather than a continuously updated piece of content.

This is true. Except, critically, for the use case of templates in talk page headers. For your average talk page post, templates are substituted. Or, to put it another way, it's not the worst thing in the world if changes to the templates aren't immediately reflected. This is not the case for talk page headers; templates are frequently used in headers on busy pages (such as Wikiprojects), and users expect changes to the header template to be immediately reflected in the header itself.
Dupe of bug 57512?
