Variables placed in the email body aren't replaced by their actual value

When a mail is sent using a Business Rules action, variables placed in the body of the email are not replaced by the actual value of the variable, for example if I create a send email action with body "Your page titled {{page_title}} has been updated", instead of receiving "Your page titled Hello World has been updated" I receive "Your page titled {{page_title}} has been updated".

Curiously, if the variables are entered into the "Subject" or "To" fields first, they appear just fine. For example if I send an email with

Subject: Page {{page_title}} updated

To: {{author->mail}}

Message: Your page titled {{page_title}} has been updated

Then {{page_title}} is replaced just fine in both subject and body/message.

Reproducing:
Create a business rule that sends an email on being triggered. Place no variables anywhere except the body. Place a variable in the body. Received email should have verbatim variable name instead of variable value.
