What you're doing here is the same as when you create any new document from its template. This has nothing to do with versioning or 'ghost' copies - you've created an entirely new document, with all the features of the template. So, if the content controls exist in the template, they'll exist in the document also.
The dotm extension identifies the template as a Word xml-format macro-enabled template, which is correct for what you're doing.
As for the suspected application errors, have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel)?
