Describe the Bug

Astro fails to parse a elements within template elements correctly in certain situations.
If the content of the a element is an expression, Astro emits the a element again after the template element.
The following is not handled correctly:

<template>
    <a href="https://example.com">{text}</a>.
</template>
<p>Some text</p>

The emitted HTML is equivalent to the following:

<template>
    <a href="https://example.com">Text</a>.
</template>
<a href="https://example.com">
<p>Some text</p>
</a>

This problem does not occur if the a Element only contains plain text (i.e. not an expression).

What's the expected result?

Astro should parse/emit a elements within template elements correctly.
