Compile error when passing function generator to labelField

[estanglerbm]

Attached example (labelField="bindItem(...)") throws this error:

c:\somewhere\TestLabelItemBind.mxml line 16 column 31 Error: Internal error in ASBlockWalker subsystem, when generating code for: c:\somewhere\TestLabelItemBind.mxml line 16 column 31: java.lang.NullPointerException

Works fine in Flex.

Some investigation:

It seems to be failing on this line, so I guess fdef is null:

String fnName = fdef.getBaseName();

Interestingly, fnName doesn't actually seem to be used, so we can probably just remove it entirely.
