Aware of module feature causes OpenMRS to crash

I decided to try out the aware_of_module feature in the 1.9 alpha standalone today, in an effort to see if I could get reporting and metadatasharing talking to each other without the need for a 3rd module. It did not go well.

Simply adding the following to my config.xml file in reporting causes OpenMRS to completely crash when I try to upload the module. Only stopping Tomcat, removing the reporting omod from the modules folder, and restarting Tomcat allows the system to recover. Here is what I added to the reporting config.xml file:

<aware_of_modules>
	<aware_of_module version="0.10.0.1">org.openmrs.module.metadatasharing</aware_of_module>
</aware_of_modules>

The stacktrace is attached.
