The problem is when a CL bean is defined in some scope, it is part of the ScopedController after PreInstall state. But the CL bean dependant beans are still in the 'Not installed' state, since they need CL for MetaData, so they are still having a bootstrap Controller assigned to them - which doesn't know about context's in his child Controllers == ScopedControllers.
