Well to me it seems that Steffen - or who ever found that issue -  used 
the markers in lowercase in the templates (###some_marker_with_i###) 
which then gets transformed (strtoupper) to the wrong character.
In fact I guess this could be solved by simply using the markers in the 
right way (###SOME_MARKER_WITH_I###). The uppercase I is already 
uppercase and thus I suspect it won't change.

If that is the case I don't see why we should support that lazyness and 
spent time on it.

The other thing is that I consider it a bug in php if the transformation 
goes wrong, which again wouldn't be our task to fix it and maybe get a 
new problem when php gets fixed and breaks our "fix"...


all the best
