[Boost-docs] [quickbook] Should the block function work?

I'm trying to make use of the "block" function introduced in quickbook 1.6.
And no matter what I do I can't see to make it work (on;y documented in
trunk version). I tried the following quickbook text which is both the
tweaked example in the docs and my own use of the feature:

====
[article Block Test
    [quickbook 1.7]
    [authors [Rivera, René]]
    [copyright 2013 René Rivera]
    [purpose To test the block function.]
    [license
        Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
        (See accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at
        [@http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt])
    ]
]

[template std_end[] [block '''</para>''']]
[template std_def[] [block '''<para role="std_definition">''']]
[template std_req[] [block '''<para role="std_requirement">''']]

[template chapter[title] [block'''<chapter><title>'''[title]'''</title>''']]
[template chapterend[] [block'''</chapter>''']]

[section:test Block Test]

[std_def]

This is inside an std_def block.

[std_end]

[endsect]

[chapter An example chapter]

Content

[chapterend]
====

Which ends up producing the following XML:

====
  <section id="block_test.test">
    <title><link linkend="block_test.test">Block Test</link></title>
    <para>
      [block <para role="std_definition">]
    </para>
    <para>
      This is inside an std_def block.
    </para>
    <para>
      [block </para>]
    </para>
  </section>
  <para>
    [block<chapter><title>An example chapter</title>]
  </para>
  <para>
    Content
  </para>
  <para>
    [block</chapter>]
  </para>
====

Instead of the expected removal of the "para" nodes and the "[block"
element itself :-( Am I doing something wrong? I'd love to use this feature
as it currently is the only way to get the effect I want in my attempt to
translate the tree proposal to quickbook.

Rene.
