Is this a bug or is there documentation somewhere that says not to use the suffix "start" in the name of a directive? Only the 'finish' directive works.
HTML:
<html ng-app="myApp">
...
<body>
<h2>Angular doesn't like the suffix 'start'</h2>
<div this-is-the-start="abc"></div>
<div this-is-the-finish="abc"></div>
</body>
...
</html>
JS:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);
myApp.directive('thisIsTheFinish', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
template: 'finish'
}
});
myApp.directive('thisIsTheStart', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
template: 'start'
}
});

I'm posting this answer so you can mark this question answered.
As @calebboyd pointed out, this was raised as an issue in GitHub and closed when a note about the breaking change was added to the release notes of "1.2.0rc1 spooky-giraffe (2013-08-13)". It's the last point under $compile in Breaking Changes:
- due to e46100f7, existing directives with name ending with "-start" or "-end" will stop working.
This change was necessary to enable multi-element directives. The best fix is to rename existing directives, so that they don't end with these suffixes.
