I don't know.  Define "broken".  :)

A service area uses factories defined in it, or in a parent, to create a 
"singleton" instance.  Doing a lookup on an interface listed in [Component 
Factories] will return an instance from the nearest containing service 
area.  Are you sure that all your components are looking things up in the 
*same* service area?
