OK, thanks for the explanation. So this has potential to cause a lot of
confusion.

I think we can confirm that this IS an issue, right?

Users can change templates in identities for nothing, because you can have
templates for identities that are NOT the default identity for ANY account.

Suggestions to solve the issue (I do not know the code, so please be gentle
;)):

* Change the code so that it will be possible to switch the template while the
editor is already opened, say if the previous/new message body has not been
altered by the user yet.

AND/OR

* Find a way to make it possible to select identity just before creating a new
message or before replying so that processing the template can be done using
the identity the user wants.

OR

* The templates should better be anchored to accounts then, and not to 
identities at all.

OR

* The tabs for setting templates should only appear / be enabled if the
identity being edited is a default identity for an account. But that might also
cause some confusion to the user, so I'd prefer the above suggestions to solve
this issue.
