So, what would the code look like that fixes this issue, from the
sample posted?

It seems to me like you're still going to get an error message about
the right line number, but in the wrong file name.

Or is #file also going in with #line, so your template engine can
forge the filename for __FILE__ to the included file?  I can see that
working to solve this for you.

Working backwards from generated code to source files in templates is
never fun, but solving this in PHP code instead of the template itself
seems like a case of killing a fly with a cannon.

It may make life a tiny bit easier for the experts, but I suspect
#line is going to be abused by the naive to make life hell on the
masses...
