after adding new template file, "Template" drop-down disappears

[sjscitp]

After adding a new page template to my theme, the "Template" drop-down on the add/edit page screen disappeared. The "Parent" and "Order" form inputs still appeared, but there was no reference to the "Template" drop-down form element in the "view source" HTML of the page.

The new template file had been added to my theme directory via pull from a git repo that my collaborator had pushed the file to. The "Template" drop-down worked fine on his exact copy of the theme.

I changed the theme for my site to twentyeleven and then immediately back to my custom theme, and the "Template" drop-down began appearing again. I did this at the suggestion of these pages:

Evidently this intermittent bug has appeared since before Wordpress 3.

I could not reproduce the bug in my test install. Does it still occur for you in the latest version of WordPress?

Still can't reproduce it.

sjscitp, please feel free to reopen the ticket with steps to reproduce the issue.
