Alpine "forgetting" attributes when moving dom elements around

[sergio-agosti]

On Alpine 3.14.4, when moving dom elements that have Alpine attributes attached, Alpine "forgets" those attributes. In the following examples, some elements with x-show attributes get moved inside the x-init event. With Alpine 3.14.3 everything works as expected.

Example:

Alpine 3.14.4: https://codepen.io/sergio-agosti/pen/raBNKGY

Definitely related to #4447

🤔

It's not so much forgetting the attributes, but that the elements initially are queued to initialize, and then get moved, and it's messing things up. This is a rather contrived case that doesn't make much sense, but I do agree that it SHOULD work.

Actually, yeah, it's losing them completely

Here's a demo with a delay as well to show that it is actually removing applied things. Very curious.

hmm, in my own test version of Alpine, these changes don't cause this issue...very strange...

Okay, that's unrelated. The issue was happening, but my test of it occuring just didn't seem to be failing.

Fix is in #4450

Wow that was quick, thanks @ekwoka !

It was luckily something that identification was quick enough, and the solution even quicker
