Hi,
This is a problem due to the changes I have made to the blank master template. Assuming your, possibly customised, default master refers to site master, ie.:
<master src="/www/site-master">
You should be able to solve the problem by switching to the compatibility template, eg.:
<master src="/www/site-compat">
This template accepts @header_stuff@ as before and should continue to work as before.
The original site-master now accepts some new variables (multirows) for link, script and meta tags. Emma's code is an example of how to use these new variables (thanks Emma!). Although I'm in the process of proposing a new api:

which will make using these variables easier. So you may want to use site-compat until then.
