TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID breaks admin template

[Leo Shklovskii]

Repro:

1. set TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID in settings to 'FOOBAR'
2. view any object list page in the admin
3. notice the checkbox on the left of the items is misaligned
4. view source to see the following:

   <table cellspacing="0">
   <thead>
   
   <tr>
   <thFOOBAR>
   

I suspect this is a pretty easy fix, I just couldn't figure out where to make it. The templates are pretty abstract/convoluted :-/

This is known issue (#3579 tracks it). I don't dare to call it a bug because the behavior is documented (see the "For debug purposes only!" note at ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#how-invalid-variables-are-handled)

Thanks ramiro, totally missed #3579. You're right, the behavior is documented, but it still may be a good idea to change the admin templates to handle it better. Obviously, pretty low pri.
