Yes, why not. The updater could be written like:

     html updater
          id: TheTabTestPanel id;
          callback: [:r |
               r withOwner: anotherComponent do: [
                    anotherComponent add: (SUCounterTest new) label: 'another'.
                    anotherComponent renderBodyOn: r ] ]);
          with: 'AJAX add from nested SUCounter' ]

The question is rather, if I want to explain that to anybody ;-)

The latest version of Slime detects that kind of bug. Thanks for the idea.
