 I have a front-page.php template in my theme folder, as per the template
 hierarchy this is used regardless of whether I am showing posts or a page
 as the front page.

 However, when I add a rewrite endpoint (on the init hook), index.php is
 used for the front page template when I add my query var to the URL. It
 makes no difference if I set the front page to show posts or a page. If I
 do not add the query var, front-page.php is correctly used.

 i.e. http://domain.com correctly uses front-page.php, http://domain.com/nl
 wrongly uses index.php

 This happens whether I use EP_ALL or EP_ROOT as the places parameter.

 All other template files are fine, it's only the homepage with the problem
 as far as I can see.
