 When you select a page template for a page, and then switch to a theme
 without that page template file, the save_post action will never fire due
 to this logic in wp_insert_post():


 {{{
         if ( !empty($page_template) && 'page' == $data['post_type'] ) {
                 $post->page_template = $page_template;
                 $page_templates = wp_get_theme()->get_page_templates(
 $post );
                 if ( 'default' != $page_template && ! isset(
 $page_templates[ $page_template ] ) ) {
                         if ( $wp_error )
                                 return new
 WP_Error('invalid_page_template', __('The page template is invalid.'));
                         else
                                 return 0;
                 }
                 update_post_meta($post_ID, '_wp_page_template',
 $page_template);
         }
 }}}
