fixed an error that is caused by the timeout firing after the element has been removed from the DOM #591

In some cases where a can-value bound select-element is inserted and then removed from the DOM in the same can.batch, the .set function may throw an error because this.element is not defined anymore, when the timeout from init finally fires.

Is there a way to test this? I can see that something goes wrong and wouldn't have too much of a problem merging without one but it would be nice to know when this happens.

Phew, let me look into my code and see if I can make it test out of it.

Hm, I'm not quite sure if the test is a good idea. It works, if you run it in the browser and with jQuery. It won't work with any other lib (due to the fact I needed jQuery's .remove in order to actually remove the DOM-node.)

If you have any idea how to do that without jQuery, please tell me. If I do it simply by using parent.removeChild() the node will be gone from DOM, but the binding will still have this.element; while using $('select').remove() does set this to null - thus, causing the issue.

Ah nice. I think can.remove should work for all libraries.

Awesome, thanks for the hint :-) I was able to build a working async-test now and even find another issue which I fixed with the latest commit. All should be fine now.
