Processing error while testing alloy 1.5.0 beta 2

While test running the beta release for IOS 8 support I run into an issue, generated by the last commit added to alloy 1.5.0 beta 2 before release.

The following piece of code which is used with the nl.fokkezb.drawer:

<Widget platform="ios" id="drawer" src="nl.fokkezb.drawer">
 
        <NavigationWindow module="xp.ui" id="main" role="centerWindow" class="container">
            <Require src="list" />
        </NavigationWindow>
 
        <Require src="menu" id="menu" />
</Widget>

generates the following error:

[DEBUG] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/alloy/Alloy/commands/compile/styler.js:582
[DEBUG]                             var standard = bindingStr.match(/^\s*\'\+(.*)\+\'\s*$/)[1];
[DEBUG]                                                                                    ^
[ERROR] : Cannot read property '1' of null

In Alloy 1.4.1 this is not an issue, because the binding check will not run into into the matching expression:

__ALLOY_EXPR__--[$.__views.main,$.__views.menu.getViewEx({recurse:true})]

The binding check returns null on this string skipping the whole if else found in the styleCollection loop in styler.js. In 1.5.0 there is a complete different approach where this string WILL run into the if else statements, generating a different behavior.

Is this an intended change? Because I think ALOY-1128 requires some more love in that case...

I've tested this with Titanium SDK 3.4.0.v20140905152516, Alloy 1.5.0 beta2 and Titanium 3.4.0 beta
