Why does the JSF 'binding' attribute cause the Seam error "@In attribute requires non-null value"?

Issue

• If the "binding" attribute is specified by a Richfaces/JSF component, it causes the following Seam error.

  javax.servlet.ServletException: /common/carrierLookupModal.xhtml
  @63,101 binding="#{carrierSearchAction.carrierTable}": Error writing
  'carrierTable' on type
  com.whatever.example.common.action.CarrierSearchAction_$$_javassist_17

When attempting to bind my Richfaces component to a Conversation scoped EJB3 I receive the following exception

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /actions/someXhtmlPage.xhtml @144,60 binding="#{MyBean.htmlView}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'MyBean' resolved to null
