Using attachments syntax on space template results in NPE

On a space template i have a pretty simple template which works fine. When i edit the template and use

, after saving i get:
Error formatting macro: attachments: java.lang.NullPointerException
on the template, which looks kinda scary. When i use the template all works as expected. Looks like bad error handling to me.
