It seems to me that you need to specify a property of the model as
the list's dataprovider, instead of using the model itself. I
haven't tested this, but I'd be curious to see what happens if you
try the following changes:
<mx:Model id="listData">
<things>{listService.lastResult.things.thing}</things>
</mx:Model>
<mx:List
id="list"
dataProvider="{listData.things}"
labelField="name" />
