I have exactly the same problem! It's especially bad in that many of  
these errors are fatal. The only method I've thought of so far is to  
fire up a CLI instance of PHP using exec() try using the template and  
see if it works, but I don't have a tidy method for doing that as yet.
At present I'm avoiding the problem using my own very restricted  
template syntax - anything even slightly weird just gets ignored. It  
works, but it's very limiting - it would be much nicer to use smarty.

So, if anyone comes up with a neat mechanism, I'd like to hear about  
it too.
