 Apologies if this is a duplicate - I tried to search but did not find
 anything applicable.

 In 2.8, the page template drop down lists page templates in sub-
 directories where in previous versions only page templates in the theme
 root dir were listed. This is a good change (IMO).

 However, the implementation of this is not working properly as only the
 filename of the page template is in the drop-down and stored for the post,
 rather than the dir name and the file name:

 pages/my-page.php

 {{{
 <option value="my-page.php">My Page</option>
 }}}

 instead of:

 {{{
 <option value="pages/my-page.php">My Page</option>
 }}}

 Because of this, the selected sub-dir page template does not get properly
 applied.

 I've been meaning to try to debug and get a patch, but haven't had a
 chance yet and hear that the 2.8.1 release is looming, so wanted to get
 this submitted.

 I just confirmed this is still broken in current trunk 2009-06-18.
