"dotnet new -l" only displays 1 template when there should be 2

Hi.

I have 2 project templates (one creates a project that produces a project template, and the other produces a project that produces an item template). Their identity fields (in template.json) are different.

Oddly, only 1 of them shows up when running dotnet new -l (usually the last one I installed) but never both. I’m not quite sure what the problem is here, but let me demonstrate:

I’ve tried this by either installing from a package (dotnet new -i FiftyProtons.Templates.DotNetNew::0.1-alpha3) or installing from a folder (dotnet new -i src/Templates/content/ProjectTemplate && dotnet new -i src/Templates/content/ItemTemplate):

Although project-template is present, and can be invoked by name, it’s not shown in the list.
