model binding on the views does not work on royale 0.9.8

I created a new royale project that uses crux. After declaring the first ui control. (A jewel drop down). I tried populating a jewel drop down with data from the server. I have configured the controller and service in the Beans.xml file.
From the logs injection happens.

However, I have observed that the model is not injected into the view.

@mjesteve has confirmed the same as well. She is unable to bind model to views.

I tested the same on royale 0.9.7 and it worked.
