View transition animations break with single ng-animate-ref 1.4.4 and snapshot

[roblouie]

When using a view transition animation and ng-animate-ref, if you have only a single ng-animate-ref it breaks the view transition animation.

Take this lightly modified version of the ng-animate-ref example from the Angular documentation. I have modified it to just show a link to a single record rather than a list. Notice the page sliding is no longer working properly:

By adding an empty span with a nonsense ng-animate-ref, the issue goes away:

The issue also resolves by simply reverting to 1.4.3:

Updating to snapshot version does not resolve the issue.

Here's a demo with a patch that will go into 1.4.5: http://plnkr.co/edit/1gTNNLBEPwiDlJYXxudu?p=preview

I'm super happy to see you're using the anchoring feature :)
