Comment (by Bernhard Reiter):

 What `get_{type}_template` and `{type}_template_hierarchy` cannot really
 capture is the presence of `wp_template` post objects as template
 candidates. The obvious place for this to go is probably `locate_template`
 -- which would mean changing its character rather significantly, from a
 rather simple check for existence of a file at a given path to something
 that also involves a moderately complex DB query. Combined with the ideas
 laid out in the previous comment(s), `locate_template` would check for the
 existence of a `wp_template` object for each `.html` file it sees in the
 `$templates` candidates array.
