@defer: placeholder and loading blocks are not removed by BaseAnimationRenderer (TransitionAnimationEngine) #51970
Description
Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?
animations
Is this a regression?
No
Description
The defer control flow blocks @placeholder and @loading are not removed when the animation providers are loaded (via provideAnimations()).
The problem seems to be in the TransitionAnimationEngine, which is called by the BaseAnimationRenderer when a node removal is requested:
The host element namespace is
undefined and thus the node is not removed.
