Nevermind, answered my own question, they do.

Question:
When a template calls on another template, and that second template, calls on a third, and so forth, do all of those subs appear on the transclusion list to the article the first template is used on?
For example, there are conversion templates that call on /range and /dim templates, and the /range and /dim templates call on a /calc template, which provides the actual number to use to make the conversion. I have found some /calcs unprotected, which seems to make it very easy for someone to screw up the numbers that get displayed in articles.

I see no reason not to. Anything that has the potential for transcluding vandalism all over hell and back, and isn't currently being worked on by an editor who has requested unprotection, should be protected. Common sense.

It's been fixed, it was caused by vandalism to this template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Mojo_title which put the "Image:Vagina-anatomy1" at the top of all pages with that
template.
The template in question is now protected and the user blocked.
Mmm. I pre-emptively blocked a second template, too.
I wonder if it might be worth reminding the mailing-list about transcluded template vandalism and the importance of protecting heavily used templates...
...for what it's worth, we have over a thousand templates transcluded more than 2,800 times - even allowing for duplication and for some not being "reader-facing", that's still a heck of a lot. Is there any reason I shouldn't roll through protecting the high-use ones?
