[Mediawiki-l] Parser changes in 1.12.0 affecting Extension:Simple Forms?

Would the parser changes in 1.12.0 have the following effect?

The Simple Forms extension
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Simple_Forms used to render
wikitext within a form, e.g.:

{{#form:
 [[Hello there]]!
....
}}

but now instead of rendering a "Hello there" link, it displays the
literal text [[Hello there]].  Likewise, if the results of a form
submission contain wikitext or custom tags, they are being displayed
literally instead of parsed.

Is this something to take up with the extension author (i.e., he missed
something), or is this going to be an inherent problem due to the parser
changes?

Thanks,
DanB
