TypeError: Cannot read property 'focus' of undefined in MdTabsController.redirectFocus

I'm having some focus issues with my application, but when it does go wrong, I get this:

I have also had the exact same error when I upgraded angular to 1.5.4. It does not happen in angular 1.5.3. Unfortunately I cannot replicate it on the Codepen and do not understand why it occurs...

This is a known issue with the Angular 1.5.4 release and the $compile change in that release is being rolled back.
