Yes, that may be a problem. But it is the result that registration of 
services and artifacts is now done per-project to support different 
project flavours (natures). Only stuff relevant to the natures used in 
the project is available in 4.0 as opposed to everything was available 
everywhere in 3.x.

I think the project documentation mentions somewhere 
(http://www.netbeans.org/download/prj40_prototype/javadoc/ProjectsCoreAPIs/org/netbeans/api/projects/doc-files/ProjectFilesystem.html#layers) 
that contents of the nature will be merged into the project filesystem 
of those projects that use that nature. Since templates are part of the 
nature -> they will appear on the PFS.
