Parent scope not inherited within directive using ngRepeat and replace

[mike-jumper]

While attempting to migrate from 1.2.x to 1.3.x, we have noticed that directives that use ngRepeat on their root element no longer properly inherit from the parent scope if replace is used. If the ngRepeat is not on the root element, or if replace is not used, scope inheritance works as expected.

jsFiddle with the exact same code as above, but using 1.2.x: http://jsfiddle.net/00Lvrgxd/

A post on Stack Overflow regarding this issue indicates this may be a duplicate of #9837. They do seem to deal with the same ultimate effect - loss of the inherited scope.

The linked issue with ngIf and replace:true has been fixed, but it didn't fix this issue here. Oddly enough the inspectable scope structure looks correct (the repeat elements have the correct parent), but the inheritance is broken.
Still, as replace is deprecated, don't hold out for a fix.
