The screen shots linked here demonstrate my current issue.  
The snapshot with real copy is taken from our UAT environment.

The one which displays a numeral 1 in place of the copy is from my local sandbox.

I spent time studying the diff between HEAD and v0.14-5-g22cddff.
They were simple inconsequential changes, most of which came 
no where close to the code responsible for these landing pages.  

I rolled back to the version currently in UAT without changing this annoying error.  
It works in UAT, but is broken in my local sandbox.  

The logs for the broken site look like this:

Both the version number and the copy from the template are being rendered as a '1'.  
I figure something is returning true somewhere in each case.  
But I am bewildered as to what the issue might be.  
Its dogged me for two days now.  

I'm tempted to deploy this to UAT to see if its about the difference between this notebook and the server, 
but am afraid of propagating this nonsense to where the business stakeholders will see it.  

Any thought folks can share on how to identify the issue and resolve it would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,
