It's a bug--it's supposed to still be a link.  I just made a fix and
released it as pmwiki-0.6.14.

Actually, it does--you can do:

   [[{{PageName}} call me this]]

for alternate text on freelinks.  At present it's the only way to
do single-word pagenames with alternate text--i.e.,

  [[{{Documentation}} link to documentation]]

but I'm planning to correct that soon so that

  [[Documentation link to documentation]]

also works (probably in 0.6.15 or something like that).
