Prior to 2.9.2, when you went into a single page edit, you could select a custom template from the drop-down menu in the attributes sidebar at the right. This doesn't seem to be present anymore. The only place I can find this option is under a page's "quick edit" and the custom page templates I created for some of the pages are no longer listed. Their code has not changed, and when I use 2.9.1 they show up as options.
Have anything changed in 2.9.2 about how they have to be specified or included?

Thanks! Switching to the default theme and back again seemed to work.

Yes, actually MichaelH's recommendation is very helpful for this issue. I found that it was not due to 2.9.2 at all. The problem was that my theme's "page.php" needed to have this tag at the top of the file:
<?php
/*
Template Name: DefaultTemplate
*/
?>
...where DefaultTemplate is an arbitrary user-defined name. This is what appears in the drop-down box. Any file in the same folder bearing this "Template Name:" tag at the top, followed by the arbitrary user-defined name will be picked-up as an optional template file and the name will appear in the drop-down box.
So it was really a bug in the Theme I was using ("Arthemia") not in Wp 2.9.2 .
