Only the IPTC contents the image had before or what I enter manually
through the IPTC / XMP editor.  If I start with a plain image and use
that template method, the tabs remain completely empty.

Yes. No. (Yes I use, No I don't see)

  these icons?

When having images with pre-set or manually entered IPTC, it changes
as expected (one show more, one shows less). 

When using templates, both remain empty.
