Freemarker: url root object not recognized in email template

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

According to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide, Alfresco 2.1 now allows one to use the ${url.context} in a template. 

This does work when the template is used within a Web Script, but when I place this in an email template, I receive the error message that the keyword "url" is not recognized.

I am using the latest enterprise 2.1 branch as of last night.

The error stack is below:

Caused by: 
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.TemplateException: Error during processing of the template 'Expression url is undefined on line 3, column 15 in workspace://SpacesStore/02712887-5b00-11dc-bb84-edd42d997725.'. Please contact your system administrator.
