ionic2 nav controller bug when used in popover - .push(somePage) does work, .pop() does throws error

[florianbepunkt]

The issue described here still exists: #8218

My system info:

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0 
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.2
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.7
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.4
Ionic App Scripts Version: 0.0.42
ios-deploy version: 1.9.0 
ios-sim version: 5.0.8 
OS: OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v6.8.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.1 Build version 8B62

If I open a popover on a details page it has options to Edit or Delete the item. When I delete the item, I want to pop the detail page off of the stack. However, this does not work from within the popover.

this.viewCtrl.dismiss().then(() => {
    this.navCtrl.pop();
});

It throws an error message

polyfills.js:3 Unhandled Promise rejection: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null ; Zone: angular ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null(…) TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null

But I can use .push() in the same context, for example

this.viewCtrl.dismiss().then(() => {
this.navCtrl.push(somePage);
});

does work.

Same thing. It seems to be caused by enteringView and leavingView both being empty here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/5ff7072242bb36cf51a0862384be635c04bf1658/src/navigation/nav-controller-base.ts#L429
