*Steps to Reproduce:* 1. Replace index.xml, index.js, index.tss with the following test code. *index.xml*

<Alloy>
	<Window class="container">
		<ListView id="listView">
			<Templates>
				<ItemTemplate name="simpleLabel">
					<Label bindId="label1" id="label1"/>
				</ItemTemplate>
			</Templates>
		</ListView>
	</Window>
</Alloy>

*index.js*

var listSection = Ti.UI.createListSection();
var dataItems = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {

	var data = {
		template : "simpleLabel",
		label1 : {},
	};

	if (i % 2 === 1) {

		data.label1.attributedString = Ti.UI.createAttributedString({
			text : "Italic row row row" + i,
			attributes : [{
				type : Ti.UI.ATTRIBUTE_FONT,
				value : {
					fontWeight : "normal",
					fontStyle : "italic",
				},
				range : [0, 6],
			}]
		});

	} else {
		//data.label1.text = "Normal";
		data.label1.text = "Normal" + i;
	}

	dataItems.push(data);
};
listSection.setItems(dataItems);
$.listView.setSections([listSection]);
$.index.open();

*index.tss*

".container": {
	backgroundColor: "#fff",
	layout: "vertical",
}
 
"#listView": {
	height: Ti.UI.FILL,
	width: Ti.UI.FILL,
}
"#label1": {
	font: {
		fontSize: 26,
	},
	color: "#000",
}
 
"Label": {
	color: "#000",
	font: {
		fontSize: 30,
	},
}

2. Build the project on iOS simulator and observe the error. *Expected:* ListView attributed string should work *Actual:* It doesn't work, generates the said error.

If one label uses a text and one uses attributed strings, you should consider using two templates instead. That's what we use and it works good.
