#2326: Web status raises exception when using Properties in step description
---------------------+-------------------
Reporter:  mthalmei  |      Owner:
    Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
Priority:  major     |  Milestone:  0.8.7
 Version:  master    |   Keywords:  web
---------------------+-------------------
 We have a buildstep where one of the description elements is a property.
 This used to work with 0.8.6p1. With the latest master version this gives
 an exception when viewing the Step in the web status (waterfall display
 works).

 Out code is like the following:

 {{{
 ShellCommand(
     description = [ 'Build xxx', Interpolate('%(prop:config)s') ],
     ...

 or
     description = [ 'Build xxx', Property('config', default='debug') ],
     ...
 }}}

 The following exception is raised:
 {{{
