Issue with Blocks on different post type templates

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is a bug with my template code or the blog application, but it seems that when first choosing a post template that includes blocks they do not load as expected.

I've taken a quick screen capture to show the steps to reproduce: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gr3rhy9zlb6u5sj/perch_blog_blocks.mov?dl=0

Here is the post template in question:

<perch:template path="blog/partials/_post_main.html" />

<perch:blocks divider-before="List Sections">
    <perch:block type="list_item" label="List Item">
        <perch:blog id="section_title" type="text" label="Title" title="true" size="xl" required="true" suppress="true" />
        <perch:blog id="section_content" type="textarea" label="Content" editor="redactor" html="true" bucket="editor" imagewidth="655" required="true" suppress="true" />
    </perch:block>
</perch:blocks>

<perch:template path="blog/partials/_post_meta.html" />

Post Main:

<perch:blog id="postTitle" type="text" label="Title" required="true" size="xl autowidth" order="1" suppress="true" />
<perch:blog id="postLead" type="textarea" label="Lead" size="xs" required="true" suppress="true" help="This will also be the preview text shown on the main blog page." />
<perch:blog id="postDescHTML" type="textarea" label="Post" editor="redactor" html="true" bucket="editor" imagewidth="655" required="true" suppress="true" />

Post Meta:

<perch:blog id="preview_image" type="image" label="Preview" bucket="blog" crop="true" width="350" height="550" suppress="true" divider-before="Preview" help="Thumbnail displayed on the main blog page." />
<perch:blog id="preview_image" type="image" bucket="blog" crop="true" width="350" height="220" suppress="true" />

<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog" label="Categories" display-as="checkboxes" divider-before="Post Options" suppress="true" />
<perch:blog id="postDateTime" type="date" label="Date" time="true" suppress="true" help="Set this to a future date / time to schedule a post." />

Is this specific to using multiple post templates?

Yes, on sites with only post.html the blocks work fine. This is the first site with multiple post types.

Hey Drew,

Is there any news on this? Our client has also noticed the issue and has queried it with us.

Thanks!
