you were right, sorry that it took so long for me to fix this issue.

This patch fixes it:

commit 60aeab750e952b3a69714ea47e2aa31683c761fd
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>

    fixed the references for non-inline templates
    
    this patch fixes template expansion for non-inline templates. The parser code
    caused these templates to be compiled as many times as they were referenced,
    which in turn concatenated the previously compiled value and the currently
    compiled value.

I've just pushed it to git.balabit.hu in the syslog-ng-3.0 repo. Tomorrow's snapshot 
should contain the fix.
