IDEA-49019 Attributes from imported .as file are labeled as "not allowed here" in mxml

Issue is visible to: All Users

In my custom components any attributes that come from imported ".as" files are listed in the mxml editer as "Attribute x not allowed here" and highlighted in red.

main.mxml

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:foo="*">
<foo:Bar id="foobar" width="100%" test="Hello World"/>
</mx:Application>

Bar.mxml

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script source="Bar_script.as"/>
<mx:Label text="{test}"/>
</mx:VBox>

Bar_script.as

[Bindable]
public var test:String = "";

public function someMethod():void {
}

In the included samples the "test" attribute of Bar is highlighted in red in the editor with a tooltip that says "Attribute test is not allowed here" .
The flex compiler makes no complaints about the attribute.

Environment: Windows XP sp3,
Java 5,
Flex 2.0.1

On clarifying note. If I include the variable inside Bar.mxml I do not get the error. For instance the below code would _not_ show the attribute as an error in the editor for main.mxml:

Bar.mxml

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script ><![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var test:String = "";

public function someMethod():void {
}
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="{test}"/>
</mx:VBox>
