Current behavior:

When I create a filter expression on an html attribute, an attribute that is later bounded incoming in a component and used inside an ng-repeat, it triggers an infinite digest cycle/loop. The output comes up fine on the screen, but there are errors in the console suggesting that it triggers and infinite digest cycle. Code to reproduce is on a plnkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/JdiLEIyji2pHd3eeNMUL?p=preview.
This also happens when the array I'm passing is an array of literals such as number or string (http://plnkr.co/edit/mfjPgZjBro39Nb7WYpjU?p=preview).

Expected / new behavior:

1. If it is a bug, then the behaviour without the bug would not result in an infinite digest cycle, and it would improve readability / seperation of concerns. As the component I'm passing in the filtered array only needs to take care of how it's showing the items in the array, not extra filter params.
2. If it isn't a bug, then I feel documentation needs to be changed as now I feel the error message is unclear to me, and the docs now ways it is possible to use filter expressions inside those places..

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:

Here's a plnkr with the code in action http://plnkr.co/edit/JdiLEIyji2pHd3eeNMUL?p=preview - open the devtools in your browser to see the errors appear.

Angular version: 1.5.* and 1.6.1/2/3

Browser: [all]

Anything else:

Possible solutions

1. In the repo where I had the problem at first: I did <todo-list todo-items="$ctrl.todoItems" filter-by="{completed:true}"></todo-list>. For full source see here: aredfox/todo-angularjs-typescript@e71900b. But I feel it's working around the problem, plus I don't understand why this triggers a $digest() cycle and why it shouldn't just work.
