Repro steps.

Add an it call to the default app.component.spec.ts file leaving the second parameter empty.
E.g.:

// src/app/app.component.spec.ts
// ...
describe('AppComponent', () => {
  // ...
  it('should pass');
});

Mention any other details that might be useful.

I wanted to leave the test implementation for later, and followed this answer on stackoverflow.
It might not be an unwanted behavior, but I thought it would behave as a pending test and fail it as such, and the stacktrace barely indicates where the problem is.

Can you open this issue on https://github.com/angular/zone.js/ instead please? It seems it's related to the jasmine patch used there.
