Description

Two-way bind of (MX, and presumably Spark) Label.text has correct results (matches behavior under Flex), but gets this error on JS:

```Uncaught InternalError: too much recursion```

On SWF, the results are wrong (never gets the A2 / B2 values).

See attached example.

Research direction

Start with the attached TestTwoWayBindLabelText.mxml.txt example and reproduce its two-way Label.text binding behavior in the JS and SWF targets. Trace the binding updates to identify the recursion and incorrect-value behavior; done means JS no longer recurses and SWF reaches the A2 and B2 values.
