Mustache - TypeError: Cannot read property 'childNodes' of null

[sporto]

This seems to be a bug

See
http://jsbin.com/ilinax/1/edit

This throws TypeError: Cannot read property 'childNodes' of null

If you remove this piece of code:

   {{#state.loading}}
        Loading
   {{/state.loading}}

It works.

If you remove the table it works.

But the combination of the two blocks throws.

You need a wrapping element around live text elements. Something like:

<span>
   {{#state.loading}}
        Loading
   {{/state.loading}}
</span>

otherwise, we have no parent element to update the live part relative to. We might be able to fix this by modifying the document fragment temporarily.

Should we throw a dev mode warning for this, or try to code a workaround?
