When a parameter of type HTML is used in a soy template, the renderer complains with an exception claiming:

com.google.template.soy.tofu.SoyTofuException: When evaluating "$context.content": Expected value of type 'html', but actual types was 'ConstantString'

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start portal
2. Deploy attached bundle
3. Add a MySoyPortlet to a page
4. Watch it fail
