zone.js v0.8.13 Produces Extensive Zone errors in Unit tests-- 'Unhandled Promise rejection:', 'Cannot create property '__creationTrace__'

[corvinrok]

Using:

• zone.js 0.8.13
• Node 7.10.1
• Angular 4.2.6
• rxjs 5.4.2
• karma 1.7.0
• Typescript 2.3.4

If I use zone.js 0.8.12 my 111 Client side unit tests work fine. After upgrading to zone.js 0.8.13 I get repeating zone errors as you can see below.

The newest release of zone.js fails extensively on almost all of related Angular unit tests now. I am seeing this throw two errors:

First one:

ERROR: 'Unhandled Promise rejection:', 'Cannot create property '__creationTrace__' on string '__zone_symbol__optimizedZoneEventTask'', '; Zone:', 'ProxyZone', '; Task:', 'Promise.then', '; Value:', TypeError {longStack: 'TypeError: Cannot create property '__creationTrace__' on string '__zone_symbol__optimizedZoneEventTask'

Can be reproduce in plunkr here: https://plnkr.co/edit/SNR831sznvMsDjdFJ3MN?p=preview
It happens when you do Event binding.
Property binding is fine

I have the same thing when running in Webpack DevServer or unit tests in phantomjs. Works fine when reverting back to 0.8.12 though.

Thank you for posting the issue, I have made a PR to fix this one.

I got same issues in my tests (angular 4.2.6). And for linux only. Windows don't cause that problems.
