It appears as though Ubiquity has regressed in the case where an
asynchronous noun-type initially returns NO suggestions but later
returns some.  So for instance, the following noun type works:

var Suggester = {
        _name : 'Suggester',

        suggest : function(text, html, makeSuggestion) {

            Utils.setTimeout(function suggestAsync() {
                for each (var number in [1,2,3,4]) {
                    //Components.utils.reportError("making a sugg.");
                    makeSuggestion({
                        text : number,
                        summary : number,
                        html : number
                    });
                }
            }, 300);
            return [CmdUtils.makeSugg("blah")];
        }
    }

If you remove the 'CmdUtils.makeSugg("blah")', then this noun type
will appear to stop working.

Shouldn't be an issue in 0.5.
Parser 2 relies on this working correctly as it parses async.

Marking as RESOLVED INVALID, per comment 2.
