calling a non-existent templating function no longer(?) reports error

What is the problem

If I remember correctly, prior to version 4.3 calling a templating function like this
<div class="some:function"/>
resulted in an error being thrown immediately, indicating that the given function does not exist. Right now, using 4.3, the server does not respond within a reasonable amount of time, I can see in Monex that a query is running (view.xql) but it won't return, I need to kill it manually.

What did you expect

I expected to get the error message I used to get, instead of the query hanging

Describe how to reproduce or add a test

Just try calling a non-existent function using templating

wolfgangmm I wonder if this is that infinite issue I pointed out to you - where it tries to call a function with 1 parameter, then 2, then 3 and then so on and so on...
