podman quadlet list fails with templated service

[joshbrooks]

Issue Description

I template a Django service as per the docs.
Here's a partial list of quadlet files:

.rw-r--r--@  441 josh 17 Aug 21:34 mp-django@.container
drwxr-xr-x@    - josh 27 Aug 15:46 mp-django@.container.d
lrwxrwxrwx@    - josh  2 Sep 08:42 mp-django@collectstatic.container -> mp-django@.container
drwxr-xr-x@    - josh 27 Aug 15:46 mp-django@collectstatic.container.d
lrwxrwxrwx@    - josh  2 Sep 08:42 mp-django@migrate.container -> mp-django@.container

This raises an error on podman quadlet list
