Comment (by nacin):

 Unless I'm reading this wrong, it seems like the issue here is the usage
 of query_posts(). query_posts() does change the active $wp_query and thus
 all conditionals.

 This should work fine if you're on a page with a page template inside a
 loop. But *the* loop doesn't really make any sense as that should be the
 actual page (singular).

 Alternatively, if it's proposing that it should work inside the loop for
 the current page: I think this would break things by changing the return
 value. While can take a function and make it work outside of the loop,
 taking a function and changing its behavior inside the loop is gonna cause
 problems.

 Maybe I just don't understand the problem.
