Using Tabs throws syntax error in 1.2.16 (but not 1.2.15)

[aslate]

I'm upgrading my application to bootstrap 0.10.0 and Angular 1.2.16 and have found that the tabset control, it throws an error during compilation - downgrading to 1.2.15 resolves this.

The following code seems to cause the issue -

tabset
    tab(heading="Testing")
        my-custom-directive()

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: <div class="tabbable">
  <ul class="nav {{type && 'nav-' + type}}" ng-class="{'nav-stacked': vertical, 'nav-justified': justified}" ng-transclude></ul>
  <div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-pane" 
         ng-repeat="tab in tabs" 
         ng-class="{active: tab.active}"
         tab-content-transclude="tab">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

It seems this had to do with Jquery-1.9.1. I ran into the same issue when i updated my jquery version from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1. I updated my version to 2.1.0 and issue went away. Not sure if this helps anyways but I didn't have to change Angular Version. I am using angular 1.2.16.

Having the same issue here with jQuery 1.9.1. Have someone found a workaround without upgrading JQuery ?

Edit: Updating to JQuery 1.11.1 also solved the issue.

The issue is the tabset template starts with whitespace. Remove the leading \n in the template string:
a.put("template/tabs/tabset.html",'\n<div>\n <ul cla...
->
a.put("template/tabs/tabset.html",'<div>\n <ul cla...
