It seems like the Mode menu popup is not ready when the mode-hook is called. 
2 fixes:

1. (quick) 
  -       menu_select_menu("Global.M&ode.&Templates");
  +       menu_select_menu("Global.M&ode");
  and press Enter on Mode>Templates
  
2. (elaborated)
  use a templates add-on (there are 2 or 3 contributed modes for this around) 
  let it insert a File>New_from_Template item and call this.
