Handlebars.precompile throws version error yet uses same script

[code-for-coffee]

Hi,

This issue pertains to Handlebars 2.0.0alpha4 (I have resolved the same issue w/1.3.0).

I've been using Handlebars.precompile() to precompile Handlebars templates in an environment that cannot have Node.js installed. I am using the latest version of Handlebars.js and am using the .precompile function, assigning a template, and passing an object in for rendering. I am thrown the error: "Error: Template was precompiled with an older version of Handlebars than the current runtime. Please update your precompiler to a newer version (>= 2.0.0) or downgrade your runtime to an older version (<= 1.0.rc.2)."

I am a little stumped here because I'm using the exact same library file (handlebars.js) to both execute the precompile as well as render the file (originally I was just using the runtime). I'm receiving the same error either way.

I've included a Fiddle that displays the exact issue that I am running into. It is as follows:

Updating original post; this now only affects 2.0.0alpha4.

The issue here is that the precompile method returns a string containing the javascript object. This must be evaled to use. http://jsfiddle.net/BqZWL/14/

Will try to add some explicit checks to make it clearer what is failing when unexpected input is sent to the template method.
