Unable to edit locked pages due to javascript error
AEM 6.3, Touch UI. I have a simple template and page component, described in detail at Layout Mode Not Showing Up. When a page using that template is locked, the page cannot be edited, due to a javascript error:
Once this error occurs, the globalbar buttons, like Edit, Preview, Unlock, and Page Information are all non-functional.
I have seen it happen with other templates too, sometimes with the same error happening in page.js
In this particular example, the page template component looks like this:
<html>
<%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp" %>
<cq:include script="/libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp"/>
<body>
<cq:include path="" resourceType="/libs/foundation/components/title"/>
<h3>Layout:</h3>
<cq:include path="pagecontent/layout" resourceType="wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid"/>
</body>
</html>
I've also seen templates where this doesn't happen (like the We.Retail pages), so something is clearly missing in these templates.
Does anyone know what I need to do, or what needs to be in this template to avoid this error?

No, this is not about editing a page by another author. This is about the fact that after the static is locked, if I, the admin and owner of the page, go into that page to edit it, I am unable to edit it or unlock it or preview it, because the global bar functions no longer work. When the page loads and AEM's javascript runs, it gets a javascript error that kills the rest of the javascript functionality: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'shared' of undefined" from core.js at line 33981.
It will even happen on a very simple static template:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello world.</h1>
</body>
</html>
Using this as the page component, if you edit the page, lock the page then reload the page, the javascript error happens and the global bar buttons don't work.
It does not happen on all pages, clearly. But it is happening on this page with this template component. So the other pages must be doing something or loading some library that mine does not.
