This is not a bug.

A (default) template is like existing document that is opened and copied when
you create a new document. It isn't used when you open any existing document,
even if the format is simple, such as CSV.

The template can contain column widths and row heights; it may contain styles;
conditional formatting; headers and footers... using the template for CSV would
appear as if  all that info  was in the file.

Doing otherwise would create surprise in users when they open a CSV, see
headers there, edit, save and see it reverted to old headers (not "no headers"
as reasonable per format, but old headers from template).

It could *maybe* follow e.g. Options->LO->Fonts->Font Settings for HTML, Basic
and SQL sources. Personally I would prefer a per-filter configuration, e.g. own
configuration for CSV. But that's a different issue, requiring own report.
