Sometimes (infrequently, but enough that I notice) my angular code just doesn’t seem to run, and I’m wondering if any others are seeing this. I put comments in the .config and .run blocks of my app, which should get run first. When the app successfully loads, the Xcode log looks like this:

So it appears that the angular startup code isn’t being called at all. Debugging with Safari shows that all the JS and HTML files have been loaded properly. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
I can replicate this on an iPad Mini 2 w/retina, running iOS 8.1.2, and also on the iOS simulator (iPhone 5, iOS 8.1 and iOS 7.0).
It only ever seems to happen when I delete the app from the device and do a new install/run from Xcode. I can’t get it to happen on subsequent runs - everything works fine after the first failed load.
