Testing Dialog having it in a shared module

Small change (maybe) in recent version that cost me a few hairs: md-dialog-actionsis actually a directive.
My tests failed until I did this:

<h1 md-dialog-title>Would you like to order pizza?</h1>
<div md-dialog-actions>
    <button md-button (click)="dialogRef.close('yes')">Yes</button>
    <button md-raised-button md-dialog-close>No</button>
</div>

MaterialModule.forRoot() complained for me ("forRoot doesn't exist... something, something"). It worked when skipped any mention of it in main.module.
