Initializers broken after ember-cli update

Ember CLI

After updating ember-cli from 0.4.4 to 0.4.6 (also ran ember init…) I get the following error when trying ember server:

Line 3: Unexpected token :

After a lot of researching I found that the problem is my initializer for a service:

export default {
	name: 'growl-service',
  	initialize: function(container, app) {
		app.inject('controller', 'growl', 'service:growl');
   	}
};

If I comment out everything except the name, it starts the server fine, but obviously it fails an assert…

Any idea on what I’m doing wrong?

I’ve deleted the contents of node_modules, ran npm cache clear and npm update. It works again now.

… The level of fragility npm gives me is unbeatable…
