Comment (by johnstonphilip):

 I'm going to try and submit a patch. I've never done it before so wish me
 luck :P

 Before I do, I would be tempted to say that passing a context might not
 even be enough to differentiate it in all circumstances - that we might
 want two completely different filters. I'm not totally convinced it's a
 good idea but I can imagine a scenario which isn't all bad:

 For example, if you had a metabox with additional options show up for
 specific page templates (using javascript) on the main edit screen, those
 metaboxes wouldn't appear on the Quick Edit screen.

 If you wanted to call your default template "No Sidebar (Additional
 Options Below)", that wouldn't make sense on Quick Edit because those
 additional options won't be there.

 Having two separate different filters would allow it - I just hope it
 isn't overcomplicating it for rare-use cases.

 I'm a big fan of communicating as much to the user in the least amount of
 words/places.
