[v2 beta.11] LoadingController broken with Tabs on default Tab

Something broke between 2.0.0-beta.10-201608041720 and 2.0.0-beta.10-201608051404 on the updated LoadingController component.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set a tabs page as root
2. Add a Loading component to the default selected tab
3. Run loading.present()

I’m running into this error: EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: activeNav.getActive is not a function. Running through the trace, it looks like Loading can’t figure out the current view. Note that this does not happen with 2.0.0-beta.10-201608041720 the previous version.

I had the same issue with beta 11. And this is my workaround:

let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({ content: 'Please wait...' }); try { loading.present(); } catch (e) { }

I even put the above code in my service class. It won’t launch the loading panel when you fire up your app. But it will as soon as everything settles in.
