It works if you switch the second text field so it looks like this:
<mx:Text
id="tab2"
text="({nbItems}) {labels.label.(@loc == locale)}" />
So it seems as though somehow the compiler gets confused by the deeper XML
parsing, and bypasses the subsequent binding call. Maybe somebody else has a
better explanation, but it looks like a bug to me.

Subject: [flexcoders] Data Binding works/does not work
Hi,
with the code below I experience some strange behaviour of the data
binding - at least it does not work the way I want. :)
There are two text fields each saying 'Cart' plus the number of items.
Then there are two buttons: one will increase the number of items and
the other will switch the language (so the second text field will
either say 'Cart' or 'Wagen').
Now - when I press 'add item' the number of items will just change in
the first text field. In the second text field the number of items
remains 0 - until I press the second button to switch languages. So
why is that? Is it because of the filter I use in the second text
field? Or is it simply a bug?
Thanks for your help,
Heiko
