Incrementally compiling after certain code changes produces LinkingException

See original GitHub issue

As reported on the gitter channel, I and many others are seeing LinkingExceptions being thrown. Now I have a reasonably easy reproducible case.

Steps:

Clone https://github.com/payalabs/scalajs-tutorial/tree/linking-error
From sbt, ~fastOptJS
Rename count in the Data class to countx. You will see a compilation error (as expected).
Rename countx back to count.

You will see a LinkingException.

This exception won’t go until you do one of the following:

clean followed by fastOptJS
Change (adding a line is fine) both Data.scala and TutorialApp.scala

One caveat: In our app, when we get an error, clean has rarely helped. So there may be another condition under which such an exception is produced, but for now, I don’t have a reproducible case for that.
