Loading a template (url or string) in a directive with root element invalid as div chidlren throw Error: Template must have exactly one root element

[carlo-colombo]

I have a template with a single tr as root

<tr>
  <td>
    <code>{{method}}</code>
  </td>
  <td>
    <a class="btn" ng-click="{{action}}">run</a>
  </td>
  <td ng-transclude></td>
</tr>

when the template is compiled the source is wrapped with a div to get the content. tds and trs are not valid children of a div so they are stripped out from the DOM leaving code and a tags

Tested with 1.2.0-rc.1 and the problem is still present http://jsbin.com/IviLado/1/edit
Template content is not rendered and an exception is raised.

I'm bored, I'll try and write a patch to make this work if I don't see any pull requests already opened
