Description

Problem: Placing a child control inside a TextArea that is part of a ListView template causes the Alloy compiler to fail with: {quote} [ERROR] Cannot read property 'symbol' of undefined [ERROR] Alloy compiler failed {quote} Test: Build the sample code below. 
<Alloy>
	<Window>
        <ListView>
            <Templates>
                <ItemTemplate name="tMsg">
                    <TextArea bindId="cMsg">
                        <Label bindId="lHintText" />
                    </TextArea>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </Templates>
            <ListSection>
                <ListItem itemId="liMessage" template="tMsg" />                    
            </ListSection>
        </ListView>
	</Window>
</Alloy>
If you remove <Label bindId="lHintText" /> from the TextArea control. It compiles fine. The code above worked fine under Alloy 1.3 and 1.4.
