Please provide any additional information below.

There's one more frame with a missing BackdropTemplate parameter - in the Search-EditBox-Widget.lua file, at line 327. This missing parameter is breaking buff/debuff adding right now it seems.

Adding in the parameter resolved the issue for me, and let me add new buffs/debuffs for tracking just fine.

Fixed in r975-beta
