I suspect that it is looking for the templates directory *outside* of 
the package, similar to the way it worked for the module. After all, to 
Python your package's __init__.py is equivalent to a module of the same 
name.

It's at least something we need to discuss, and any outcome needs to be 
documented carefully.

Could you report this as an issue in launchpad? We are (slowly) working 
on revising the way grokcore.view works and this should be taken into 
account.
