[RC.5] Missing component when building/serving production version. WEIRD!

[dzonatan]

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2
node: 5.11.1
os: win32 x64

angular version: rc.5

Just read/do repro steps

1.Create fresh project with ng new.
2.Add anything.component.ts in src/app/shared folder with the following content:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'anything',
  template: 'Kim Jong-un'
})
export class AnythingComponent{ }

3.Add it to app.module.ts declarations:

...
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AnythingComponent } from './shared/anything.component'; // <--- HERE

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    AnythingComponent // <---- AND HERE
  ],
...

4.Add anything element to app.component.html:

<h1>
  {{title}}
  <anything></anything> <!-- HERE -->
</h1>

5.Run ng serve. You should see app works! Kim Jong-un. Great!
6.Now the fun part. Run production version with ng serve --prod. You will only see app works!.

WHOOT? NO ERRORS! WHERE IS MY KIM??

I think this is the same problem as #1644 from a few minutes ago... which is the same also as angular/angular#10618

Oh! You are right Kyle! Switching AppComponent with AnythingComponent solved the issue.
I'm closing this issue.

The solution proposed in #1644 worked for me:

...
mangle: { screw_ie8 : true, keep_fnames: true }, //prod
