Yeah, the problem is that's sometimes actually useful - if guarded by an
<if>, recursive components are good for building trees, etc.  However,
there are a number of issues right now stemming from the lazy creation of
subcomponents that makes this possible, so what I may do is force you to
explicitly mark a subcomponent as recursive or lazy if you're using it
that way, and precreate all the rest.  With that, you could detect at
least the simple case of embeddeding a component directly into itself
quite easily.
