  When generating the development-mode JavaScript code for a
  function invocation where an argument to the function was
  another function invocation, a NullPointerException
  occurred. This was not an issue for the version of the
  JavaScript that is used for deployed applications.
  

Problem conclusion

• The NullPointerException has been fixed and the code
  generates cleanly.
  

Temporary fix
