Contemplate teaser distorts page.tpl.php

i have a simple CCK content type: Title, 2 small text fields, a url with text & body. all the latest 5.1 components

a somewhat modified phptemplate theme; a "pagewrap" div is used to center the body in the browser window. this works fine.

if i take the code from Contemplate's body window & put it into "node.content_type.tpl.php" everything works fine -- except there is no "read more".

if i removed the tpl file & use Contemplate instead -- just the body, not the teaser -- my node (on its full page) is perfect. the teaser on the home page is perfect too: not styled, but all nodes reside within the "pagewrap" div.

if i use the teaser functionality of Contemplate, the home page teaser is good ("read more" is there) but not only is the my content type within some odd div (with a border) but after the last instance of my content type on the home page (there are 4), all subsequent nodes are outside the "pagewrap" div. only the use of teaser causes this behavior. the site is still in development, and it doesn't make it look bad, so i'll leave it up to be looked at: Oregon for Obama.

i want to use Contemplate on lots of sites, but this is not a useful behavior.
