Regressions in zim 0.44? Exporting Bugs

Before I file a bug (because I'm too tired to actually do a proper test case and verify it's real), I've been testing the new 0.44 release of Zim on linux, and there appears to be a few features that went AWOL since zim was rewritten in Python.

Note : I could be on crack and imagining things. Need to test using a fresh notebook and see if I can replicate the behaviours...

----

1) When exporting the notebook to HTML via the export dialog, specifying a template with a syntax error causes anomalous behaviour. More specifically, clicking the 'Export' button does nothing (silent failure.)

I tried doing the same operation via command line, and some exceptions are getting thrown around without being handled properly. Log of my terminal session follows:

2) Unrelated to above : Index page generation / backlinks generation appears to be broken.

When exporting a notebook using the default HTML template, no index page is generated (the Index link links to file:///, which is of course fairly useless.) Additionally, no backlinks are detected for any page.

I whipped up a test for this one - made a blank new notebook with a few pages and a few links between the pages, then exported it using default settings. Resulting HTML pages had no backlinks and there was no index.html generated (even though I asked for it); additionally, the [Index] link on each page linked to '/' or similar.
