Here is the source of the "craziness": there shouldn't be a pagelist 
directive here.

I assume that you have a pagelist directive somewhere that calls the 
template that you identified above, something like:
(:pagelist fmt=#Hierarchical:)

When that is rendered, it looks to your template and finds a second 
pagelist directive that calls the fmt=#title template, which is the name 
of a template that should be located in your Site.PagelistTemplates 
page.  So, that should explain why you are seeing those references to 
Site.PagelistTemplates#title.  The results are surprisingly 
straightforward, given the fact that you have nested a one pagelist 
directive inside of the template for another pagelist directive.

Given the first problem, I won't even wage a guess as to what you have 
in your sidebar.  You should quote the markup to the list.
