I'm experiencing some peculiar behavior based on the <select> tag. It seems that the dropdown is empty depending on where I place it in the template. For example, this works:

<div ng-if="admin.editingRole">
  <select ng-options="role.name for role in $data.roles" ng-model="admin.editRole"></select>
</div>

But if I include the exact same element in another place:

<div>
<label for="role">Role</label>  
 <select ng-options="role.name for role in $data.roles" ng-model="admin.editRole"></select>
</div>

The dropdown is empty. I can't for the life of me figure why this would happen.
