Ah, weirdness. Since version 2.1.beta37, (:title:) and the other
directives do in fact set the corresponding page text variables, but
their markup is processed after {$var} expansion so this isn't evident
unless you're poking at things in the code. I hadn't noticed this
before.

And I agree that they aren't page text variables, but my point is that
they ought to be. Can you explain a bit more how this breaks your
site? Is it just a matter of having similarly-named page text
variables on your site?

No, just the ones in $SaveProperties, which is by default set to
array('title', 'description', 'keywords').
