I prefer not to "fix" templates that relate to devices I don't have access to, 
especially since I am not familiar with all the naming conventions for 
interfaces on Cisco equipment.

Please log a tracker item on the SF page. Feel free to attach a patch against 
current svn.

Please note the exceptions file in other if_* tests as well (e.g. if_load).

to cross-post, so I have removed the Xymon list).
