Tweak $location decorator and visit(); all tests pass.

• Guard against infinite $location.path loop as explained in comment
• Give visit() one more tick before it invokes the callback; determined empirically that this is necessary on occasion else the viewElement() may return empty object

You may prefer the stabilize approach in gaelazzo's pull request as it is less of a hacky guess than mine.

Something has to be done because I'm running into the exact same problem he describes.

The infinite loop problem can be revealed when a route has a redirectTo that always fails. That's extremely likely if the developer neglects to set the {mockLocationPaths: false} option and is not pre-caching the templates (my situation).

I think we can safely let this die ;-)
