No components in objects cloned from templates with pooled components after reloading a scene?

Here is my (example) setup:

templates.txscene:
apple template, which is pooled with components, and persistent. Contains a foo component

mainScene.txscene:
spawnerObject with a component that spawns an apple using the template and deletes the spawnerObject

Here's what happens:

On the initial startup of the game:
templates.txscene is loaded
mainScene.txscene is loaded
spawnerObject is registered
spawnerObject clones an apple with a foo component and deletes itself

-- At this point I press the key I have bound to cause a level reset

Here's what happens next:
Sceneloader unloads mainScene.txscene
Sceneloader loads mainScene.txscene
enter the spawnerObject register function
spawnerObject clones an apple, but this apple doesn't have any components.

If I go to the templates.txscene and check only "Pool" instead of "Pool with components" then after reloading the level it will clone the apple with the foo component. Is this expected behavior? I didn't expect it! I thought pooling with components would let it clone the object with components faster. Any ideas would be appreciated, although the 'workaround' doesn't really cost me anything.

Now if I can just figure out why my player object causes the game to crash when I do the level reloading...

Edit: The template objects themselves do actually have the components, but the cloned objects do not.
