Couldn't resist a quick look, and I think I've found the problem. It's  
this commit.

    
https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/commit/32935dbc7bc1369047c4af572b1e04f34fb08fb8

It switches from using "-f" to see if the template exists, to using  
$engine->pathname_exists. This changes the behaviour as  
pathname_exists() uses Template::Context::template(), which dies if  
the template can't be found.

So the call to pathname_exists() probably needs to be in a try/catch block.

I'll see if I can come up with a failing test and a patch.

hth,

Dave...
