No, as it can be unserialized successfully when having the default 
language (L=0).

I investigated the problem and I located the stuff but I still don't 
understand why it does not work.

In EXT:templavoila/class.tx_templavoila_htmlmarkup.php, in method 
getTemplateRecord(), at the beginning the template record is retrieved 
and it works fine but at the end there is

} elseif ($langUid) { // If the language uid is set, then try to find a 
regular record with sys_language_uid

The problem is that it gets into $printRow an empty array and then

if (is_array($printRow)) {
     $rec = $printRow;
} elseif (....

Bing! My default record is overwritten by an empty array, meaning I then 
get my error "Template Object could not be unserialized successfully" in 
pi1/.

If I change the test to

if (is_array($printRow) && count($printRow) > 0) {
     $rec = $printRow;
} elseif (....

Then it works as expected. I just wonder why I don't have this problem 
on other installations.
