Quick summary: I'm using custom opening and closing tags for angularjs. For some reason, ng cannot seem to interpret inline template correctly:

Please note how a random character "a" is added to the template and causes the code to start working.

Weird, it seems to be treating the template as JSON, that's kind of awkward.

I'm not totally sure a fix for this would be admissible, but I think templates should probably not try to parse JSON at all. In the mean time, you could change your custom interpolation markers to not use JSON characters, EG << >> for instance.

Hmm, my attempted fix breaks the docs because they're using inline json templates :( I'm not sure of a good way around that.

I guess you might want to look at using different interpolation markers, I'm not sure this is fixable

I will try to use different markers. I think this is very unexpected behavior however, because the content of a template should not be assumed to be in json format.
